X: Ten Years

Crispijn van de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an urban scene with children and a goat. The drawing shows a circular vignette enclosing three children. One child is seated on a column pedestal, another is standing beside a goat, and a third is standing holding what appears to be dolls or toys. The background features an urban setting with architectural structures like buildings and people depicted faintly in the distance, giving the scene a sense of depth. The circular frame is inscribed with text in Latin. The composition captures a moment of playful interaction among the children in a town setting.
