This print titled "Fortune and the Child" transports us back to a bygone era, where myths and fables held great significance in shaping moral lessons. In this scene, we see a young boy peacefully sleeping on the edge of a deep well, unaware of the danger that lurks beneath him.

It is clear that Fortune does not want to bear the blame for any potential folly that may befall the boy if he were to fall into the abyss.
The image exudes an air of tension and suspense as we are left wondering what fate awaits the child. Will he heed Fortune's warning and move away from the brink? Or will he ignore her cautionary gesture and face dire consequences?
