Two plump cherubs hover together, each cradling a dove and trailing a loose blue ribbon, a pairing of symbols that Western art has long tied to innocence, peace and the Holy Spirit. Cherubs of this kind descend from the winged infants of classical art, which Renaissance painters and sculptors reworked into Christian messengers of heavenly love. Doves and ribbons were common attributes in devotional and decorative imagery alike, so the scene sits comfortably between sacred meaning and pleasing ornament. Look at how the ribbons curl and echo each other, a small compositional rhythm that ties the two figures together.
