"Putto and a Small Dog" is a piece of art created on the back side of the Berlin Tondo between 1427 and 1428 by the Italian artist Masaccio (Tommaso di Giovanni). This painting, which is now housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, features a putto, or a male child, often seen in Renaissance art, who is shown alongside a small dog.

Monochromatic and exuding a sense of rustic charm, "Putto and a Small Dog" represents a departure from the more typical vibrant, colourful works of its creator. The painting, while focusing on figures typically associated with frivolity and affection, also conveys strong emotions and invites viewers to reflect on meanings beyond the seeming simplicity of its subjects.

The physical size of the painting, much smaller than Masaccio's other known works, also suggests that it may have served a more personal or intimate purpose for its original owner. The occurrence of such works by eminent painters is not unusual and points to the varied demands on artists aside from public or religious iconography requirements.

While the artwork is somewhat notable for its departure from Masaccio's typical style and subject matter, it is of additional historical interest due to its origins; "Putto and a Small Dog" marks one of the final works from Masaccio before his death at the age of 26, thus closing a brief, yet impactful career within the Early Italian Renaissance period. The painting thus remains a unique part of Masaccio's oeuvre, providing valuable insights into his artistic evolution.

It should be noted that as per the nature of art interpretation, several viewpoints concerning the thematic and stylistic elements of the painting exist, underscoring the rich and varied experience of art appreciation. Details concerning the artwork's commission, its original location, and its subsequent ownership remain limited, reflecting the often incomplete historical context of many early Renaissance works.
