Reiziger die een brief aan een putto geeft 1696

"Reiziger die een brief aan een putto geeft" (Traveler Giving a Letter to a Putto), is a 1696 drawing by Hendrick van Beaumont. The artwork depicts a traveler, with a staff, offering a letter to a winged putto, a chubby, nude child-like angel, in a landscape setting. The drawing suggests a mythological or allegorical theme, perhaps referencing the power of love or the divine delivery of messages. The use of charcoal on paper gives the drawing a delicate and intricate quality, common in 17th-century Dutch art.
