The three putti, depicted here, are after a fountain, executed by Giambologna, for the Medici family garden in Florence. The fountain no longer survives, but two of the bronze putti are now housed in the Bargello, Florence. The drawing was previously thought to be by François Duquesnoy (1594-1643).
