Jacob de Wit (1695–1754) was a prominent Dutch painter known for his masterful use of grisaille, a painting technique executed entirely in shades of grey to create the illusion of sculpture. Among his notable works are the series "Putti Making Music, Putti Sleeping, and Putti Making A Fire," which are exemplary of his skill in this medium. These works, often referred to collectively as "Engrisaille: Overdoors," were designed as decorative overdoor panels, a popular interior design element in the 18th century that adorned the spaces above doorways in affluent homes and public buildings.

De Wit's "Putti" series features cherubic figures engaged in various activities, rendered with such precision and depth that they appear almost three-dimensional. "Putti Making Music" depicts a group of putti, or cherubs, playing musical instruments, capturing a sense of joyous harmony and movement. "Putti Sleeping" contrasts this with a serene scene of resting cherubs, evoking a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. "Putti Making A Fire" shows the cherubs engaged in the act of kindling a fire, symbolizing warmth and perhaps the spark of creativity or life.

These works are celebrated for their intricate detail and the lifelike quality achieved through de Wit's adept use of light and shadow. The grisaille technique allowed de Wit to mimic the appearance of classical sculptures, thereby blending painting and sculpture in a unique and innovative manner. His ability to convey texture, depth, and emotion through a monochromatic palette is a testament to his artistic prowess.

Jacob de Wit's overdoor panels not only served a decorative purpose but also reflected the Rococo style's emphasis on playful, light-hearted themes and the fascination with classical antiquity. Today, these works are appreciated not only for their aesthetic beauty but also for their contribution to the decorative arts and their role in the history of interior design.
