Image Title: Three Adornments of Children

Description: A kneeling child receives a crown from each of three female figures. Behind them, a tree grows, lashed to a pole for strength, workers prune a vineyard and a man pours wine into a large jug. The Latin superscription reads, "Three rare ornaments of the young," and the text below, "What cloak is the most attractive adornment of a child? That he obey; that he press on in prayer; that he imbue his prayer with modest chastity.".
