Ascribed to Jacob de Wit (Dutch, 1695-1754), Putto with a Skate, pencil, 23 x 15cm (8.97 x 5.85in). Notes: The little putto with skates presumably refers to the emblem by Daniel Heinsius about the slippery nature of love, Heinsius wrote in 1613: "On slippery ice, Cupid learns the game invented here in Holland, He tries to walk on ice, he wears a pair of skates. He ties to his feet the two sharp iron blades - They will keep him firm, he thinks, and steady on the water. The ice is slippery, the blade against it, too, It is easy to fall down, or even fall straight through. With wooing it is the same: those lacking well-honed skills. Will lose their footing fast, their love will come to naught"
