From the museum record

These airborne cherubs probably formed part of the decorations crowning an church altar. One of the putti holds a heart, which would originally have included a flame (now lost). An expression of religious fervor, the burning heart also referenced the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which in Christian imagery symbolized Christ’s love for humanity.

Lupin’s visual index

Two sculpted putti, rendered in gold and ivory tones, float against a dark background, exhibiting classic Baroque detailing.
