Raffael - Nach links schwebender Amorknabe und ein weiterer Putto, C 161

A muscular child figure with wings is depicted from a low angle, appearing to soar upward. The red chalk captures subtle anatomical details and the soft contours of the body, focusing on the play of light across the figure's back and limbs.

This is a study for the Loggia di Psiche frescoes, which visualize the myth of Cupid and Psyche as a Neoplatonic allegory of the soul's journey and eventual union with divine love. This theme was central to the High Renaissance synthesis of classical mythology and mystical philosophy.
