About the object
This hand-coloured steel engraving was made and published by the English steel engraver and publisher, Albert Henry Payne, and was based on the now lost version of Kirner's painting Spielende Kinder (Children at Play). The bilingual title is indicative of the wide distribution of this popular Italian genre motif in the anglophone world.
