Image Title: Indulgent Mother

Description: A woman spins while her child plays recklessly with an array of toys. In the background, a mother kisses her son as he goes to the gallows, another scolds a schoolmaster, and yet another restrains a man from physically punishing a child. The Latin superscription reads, "The indulgent mother produces a noose for her son," and the text below, "What good does the tender mother hold back from her child? These the noose leads to perishing by a pliant thread.".
