This woodcut, "Drie kinderen met trofee," by Hans Holbein the Younger, depicts three children in an allegorical scene. The children are playing with various military paraphernalia such as a helmet, armor, and a shield. The image is thought to be a satirical commentary on the futility of war, as seen in the children's playful and somewhat mocking handling of the weapons. Created in 1547, it's an example of Holbein's masterful use of line and detail, showcasing his skill in creating a dynamic composition with a strong sense of humor and social commentary. The woodcut is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
