About this work
In a landscape with a fountain in the background and a pedestal with a statue of a river god in the middle ground, three children quarrel over a bird's nest. The girl who on the pendant shows the bird's nest to her friend lies on the ground and her former playmate pulls her hair and is about to hit the girl. The boy who on the pendant watches them runs away with the bird's nest. While he looks back, one of the birds falls out of the nest.
