Summary
A bespectacled schoolmaster sits on the far left, listening to a boy warily recite his lessons, one eye on the birch in his teacher's hand. Elsewhere in the room, other children play and study, including a girl toying with a cat perched atop a canopy bed. An almanac hangs on the wall, below a shelf holding books and a sheaf of quills ready to be cut
Notes
General notes
Title from item The text of the almanac is too small to make out, but the design matches one Bosse made for the year 1638, allowing the print to be dated. (Join-Lambert & Préaud) With 16 lines of verse in four columns below, beginning Cet habile Maistre d'Escole / Accoustumé parmi le bruit
Also known as
Extended title: Le maistre d'escole ABosse jnu. et fe
