| Place of origin |
Two men sitting under a tree playing chess, while a maidservant in regional dress pours out coffee or tea into a cup. On the left, a group of boys and a dog are shown playing a war game with flags and toy swords, one small boy riding piggyback on the shoulders of another. On the right, two girls are shown playing a variation of "Game of Graces", with one stick apiece (rather than two) used to toss a hoop to each other.
