This is a woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger from 1522-1526, depicting three children interacting around a large capital “F.” The image is part of a larger alphabet series that Holbein made for the German printing press of his time. The artist was known for his detailed and precise representations, a quality evident in the children’s features and the texture of their clothing. The woodcut, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a charming reminder of Holbein’s versatility and artistry.
