It depicts a series of scenes from the children's story *Thumbelina*, showing the titular heroine's bravery and resourcefulness in the face of danger. The artwork uses simple lines and bright colors to convey the story to its intended audience of young children. This print is a rare example of early Dutch children's literature, demonstrating the popularity of fairy tales and the importance of teaching children about courage and intelligence. The print is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
