Two boys play beside a tree. One
hangs from a branch and the other
has a basket. Apparently they are
playing at catching birds.
This cartoon was for one of the
tapestries now in the Monastery of
El Escorial. Its size, similar to
that of Boy with a Bird (P790),
shows that it, too, was intended
for a narrow area beside a door, or
on a pier between windows.
