Th caption for this illustration that dates to around 1865 reads: Supper over, the father would resume his work, and the child would read to him out of the books which he received as prizes. The father was Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768), a German classical archaeologist and a historian of ancient art. Here the father is being read to by his son.
