This print belongs to the early works of Jacques de Gheyn. The print depicts the Biblical parable about a kingdom ruled by a good, mature king and its counterpart an unhappy kingdom ruled by a „child“ (R 165745). Here, too, Van Mander’s elegant Mannerist composition features gracefully stylized, elongated figures.
