The Wayfarer is a Hieronymus Bosch painting. It is currently in Museum Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam. This painting is round and is 71.5 cm in diameter.
This character in this painting is strikingly similar to The Path of Life, which is the outside of the Haywain Triptych. Interpretations of the character include the suggestion that he is choosing between the path of virtue at the gate on the right or debauchery in the house on the left, or that he is the prodigal son returning home from the world.[1]
