The Patricides, ‘Each According to Their Own Nature’

As the old sing, so pipe the young. Interior with the children of an officer playing soldiers. To the left a girl clasps herself to her father. A boy kneels behind a drum while aiming his rifle at his father. In the background a boy plays the bugle while touching a chandelier with his lance. Behind the mother a girl is riding a rocking horse. To the right a maid handles a bow and arrow.
