A winged cherub in a blue robe, shown mid-blast on a trumpet, belongs to a long tradition of angels as heavenly messengers. In Christian art the trumpet is tied to the Last Judgment and to the announcements that recur through scripture, so the instrument tells the viewer that this figure is calling something to attention rather than simply posing. Artists of the early modern period often painted such musical angels in clusters, and the blue robe, a color long linked with the Virgin and with heaven, adds a note of sacred dignity. The cherub's round, childlike face is a convention that softens an otherwise solemn message.
