Cherub Playing a Lute

Cherub Playing a Lute or Musical Cherub is a 1521 oil on panel painting by Rosso Fiorentino, now in the Uffizi in Florence. It is signed "Rubeus Florentinus" and dated - though the date is unclear it probably reads 1521.

It entered the Tribuna of the Uffizi on 29 June 1605, at which date it had its present attribution. The 1635-1638, 1704 and 1853 inventories altered this to Beccafumi and the 1784 inventory to Francesco Vanni before an 1825 inventory restored the present attribution.
