Title

Rutland Psalter (1260) Children at Play 2

Description

This illustration depicts four children, play fighting in pairs, stacked on each others shoulders. The two on the bottom may be the same two boys from the “Children at Play 1” page illustration. Grotesque illustrations such as this one may have been included to add a youthful energy to the page. A goofy interruption to an otherwise serious text.
