Kinderspelen en vermaken 1866 - 1902

"Kinderspelen en vermaken" (Children's Games and Amusements) is a series of 16 illustrations by Dutch artist Franciscus Antonius Beersmans, created between 1866 and 1902. Each illustration depicts children engaging in a variety of outdoor activities such as playing with kites, catching butterflies and swinging from trees, all set against a backdrop of charming Dutch landscapes. The use of vibrant colors, simple lines, and a playful tone capture the joy and innocence of childhood, making this work a popular choice for children's literature and education.
