De ochtend (morgen)

A family is shown beginning their day within a structured household, emphasizing the virtues of care and education. In the foreground, a mother seated in a high-backed chair interacts with two small children, while behind them, a bearded man and a boy are focused on reading and writing at a desk. A small dog sits attentively at the mother's feet, completing the scene of domestic harmony.

This print belongs to a series on the Times of Day, reflecting the Northern Renaissance interest in the cycles of time and the moral organization of life. It illustrates the 'vita activa' and the humanist belief that the well-ordered home serves as a microcosm of a stable, divinely blessed universe.
