Malevolent Putti Dissecting A Dog

Speaking of malevolent putti, as I was below, here is a picture of a pair of them dissecting a dog. Elsewhere in the image, of which this is a detail, another couple of cherubs are examining the entrails of a freshly-slaughtered hare. So, for your own good, don't be taken in by their oh-so-cutesy appearance!
