About this work

Walled inner courtyard with pavilions, fountains, and pergolas. The fountain under the pavilion depicts a woman with breasts full of milk; children play around her. The children spin tops and hoop, or have a hobby horse, a doll in a cart, etc. On the left in the foreground, a boy is drawing. The boy in the center is studying. On the right, two boys are fighting. In the margin, a four-line text in two columns in Latin. The print is part of an album.
