Rich children, poor parents, Robert de Baudous (Possibly), c. 1591 - c. 1659 print A rich couple with their children stands on the landing in front of their house. There is an old and poor couple in front of the landing. The man leans on a stick and the old woman wipes away her tears with a cloth. The rich children show their poor parents the door. They don't want to take care of them. Behind the children, father runs time, with a scythe and an hourglass in his hands. He points out that the children also grow old and then have to wait and see if their children act better than themselves. print
