The print titled "FEEDING TIME" is a steel engraving created in 1880, based on an original work by A. Paoletti and engraved by Greatbach. The image depicts a charming and lively scene of children feeding pigeons in what appears to be an urban setting, possibly a city square or a public plaza. The central focus is on a group of five children, each engaged in the act of feeding or interacting with the pigeons. One child, kneeling on the ground, is surrounded by a flock of pigeons eagerly pecking at the food scattered around him. Another child stands nearby, holding out a piece of bread to a pigeon perched on her hand, while a third child, seated on the steps, watches the scene with a smile. An older woman, possibly a caretaker or a passerby, stands behind the children, observing them with a gentle expression. The background features architectural elements such as columns and steps, suggesting a grand, possibly historic, location. The engraving captures the innocence and joy of childhood, as well as the simple pleasure of interacting with nature in an urban environment. The text on the print includes "A. PAOLETTI Pinxit" and "GREATBACH Sculpsit," indicating the original artist and the engraver, respectively.
