"Putto met hond" is a small etching by Cornelis Schut, dating from 1618 to 1655. The etching, which depicts a putto leaning against a wall with a dog at its side, is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The etching demonstrates the fine linework typical of Schut’s engravings, and the overall style is characteristic of the Baroque era in the Netherlands.
