Kinderen met hoepel en balancerend met stok Possibly 1759

This etching by Pierre Charles Canot, created around 1759, depicts children playing in a picturesque landscape. The artist's use of delicate lines and shading creates a sense of movement and whimsy, making this scene of children's play feel both charming and timeless. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the Rococo style and its emphasis on playful and elegant design. This etching is a delightful glimpse into 18th-century childhood and the beauty of simple pleasures.
