This little choir of angels is from a painting fragment, probably of a nativity painting from the early Italian Renaissance. The name of the artist is not known.
Notice the different colored angel wings, which look more like bird wings than the huge, white, fluffy wings depicted on angels in the last century. In fact, the wing colors seem to be chosen to match the angel robes—or vice versa.
The angels in the choir all appear to be male. Some appear a bit chubby and not very young or beautiful. In old religious paintings, the faces of angels, saints, monks, and others were often portraits of donors or patrons of the artist. That may very well be the case in this painting.
Though much art has been lost in wars and fires through the centuries, the world still possesses a wealth of angel art. What a blessing it is to have so many beautiful and interesting sources of inspiration from the past.

Spanish painter Francisco de Zurburan (1598-1664) painted The Annunciation in oils on canvas. Notice that the angel has gray wings. Angels with dark or brightly colored wings were quite common until sometime in the 1800s. Some angels even had butterfly wings.
