Grammar

The personification of Grammar sits as an older teacher in a wicker chair. She teaches a child next to her to read from a book. In her hand a pointer. In the foreground lie books on spelling and grammar. In the background a mother hen and several chicks. As a symbol of motherly love, the brood hen stood for grammar as the starting point, the mother of all education. In the top right corner a boy enters the schoolhouse. The print has a Latin inscription about grammar and is part of a seven-part series on the seven liberal arts.
