Spelende kinderen 1761 - 1804

"Spelende Kinderen" (Playing Children), a print by Hermanus Numan from 1761-1804, depicts two scenes of children at play. The top scene shows two children pulling a third on a small cart, while the lower scene shows a group of four children, one of whom is falling. The illustrations are part of a series of prints created to teach children lessons about life and morality. Numan was a Dutch artist known for his prints and drawings. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
