About the piece
Created in 1808 by the Riepenhausen brothers, this exquisite oil on panel work captures a whimsical Neoclassical allegory. The central figure, crowned with a floral wreath, is attended by several winged putti—some free and others playfully contained in a golden birdcage—set against a backdrop of lush vines and architectural elements.
