Twee kinderen met een schaal 1500 - 1600

This anonymous engraving from the 16th century depicts two nude children holding aloft a basket filled with an overflowing cornucopia of flowers. The vignette is framed by a swirling motif of decorative foliage, creating a sense of exuberance and vitality. The design was likely created for a decorative purpose, potentially as a print for a book or as a design for a small-scale object. The use of children as a symbol of innocent and playful energy is a common theme in Renaissance art, often serving as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of life.
