Deez' knapen zoeken hun vermaak, / Doch ieder met eene and're zaak. / Het vrolijk spel past aan de jeugd. / Zij is geschapen tot de vreugd 1832 - 1850

"Deez' knapen zoeken hun vermaak, / Doch ieder met eene and're zaak. / Het vrolijk spel past aan de jeugd. / Zij is geschapen tot de vreugd," is an 1832-1850 print by Theodorus Johannes Wijnhoven-Hendriksen, showcasing a series of vignettes depicting Dutch children engaged in various activities. The print, comprised of twelve individual scenes, presents a whimsical glimpse into the everyday life of young children during the early 19th century, with each scene featuring a short poem, written in Dutch, providing context to the depicted action. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a charming representation of Dutch social life and its emphasis on childhood innocence and play.
