Before Rousseau theorized his education, the first little ones "visible" as "agents" in works of art would be the 17th-century Dutch. Children who play and share feminine space in a commercial and overseas environment and who contrast with the figure of the "rascal" without a home and who is a street child. The rascals that the contemporary artist represents at home are children, mostly of a bourgeois class, and as such, spend time educating themselves, playing games and getting bored. Some do mischief, because it is difficult to distract the kids at home. Pretending they are helping their mum who’s working, playing board games with siblings, and even receiving father's attention -a strange figure in domestic space and child interaction- beyond kisses and motherly hugs. After all, "home" is not four walls that limit us, but our mother’s arms that release us from evil.
