Set among the gallery's angels and fairies, this piece stands out for its bright color rather than its subject. It is a chromolithograph, a print method that layered several stone or metal plates, one per color, to build up a finished image. Such prints were widely sold in the late 1800s as devotional pictures, greeting cards and decorations for the home, and the rosy wings and soft, rounded face of this cherub reflect the sentimental taste of that era. Look closely at the clean edges and smooth color fields, which show how far commercial lithography had advanced by then.
