Title: [The Squire of the Woods' Children]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Three children sit against a wall, the boy on the right stretches his legs with his right shoe dislodged, the boy in the middle eats some morsel and the girl on the left rests against her brother's back. They are the children of the Squire of the Woods. The image is occasioned by the Squire of the Woods saying "Really and truly, Signor squire," answered he of the Grove, " I have resolved and determined with myself to quit the frolics of these knights-errant, to get me home again to our village, and bring up my children, for I have three, like three oriental pearls."
