1869

So the ancients sang, the boy squeals. Interior in which the children of an officer are playing soldier. On the left, a girl clings to her father. A boy kneels behind a drum and points his gun at the father, behind this a boy blows his bugle and hits the chandelier with his lance. Behind the mother is a girl riding a rocking horse. To the right, a maid with a bow and arrow.
