About the Artwork
Neglect laxness and fondling make children capricious, stubborn, haughty, overfond of sweets, lazy, and unbearable. They grow up and yet remain childish. Such is this Nurse’s child.
La negligencia, la tolerancia, y el mimo hacen a los niños antojadizos, obstinados, soberbios, golosos, perezosos, e insufribles; llegan a grandes y son niños todavía. Tal es el de la Rollona.
