Kinderspelen 1839 - 1841

"Kinderspelen" (Children's Games), created by Daniël Broedelet between 1839 and 1841, is a charming print that showcases a series of scenes depicting Dutch children engaged in various activities. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the innocence and joy of childhood through its detailed black and white illustrations. The print's layout is divided into five distinct panels, each depicting a different scene accompanied by a rhyming caption in Dutch. This playful print, typical of the 19th-century genre of children's literature, serves as a delightful glimpse into the everyday lives of Dutch children during that era.
