 Subject:

Illustrations of Thai children at play: 1. a vivid drawing of four children enjoying rope-jumping; 2. a watercolour painting of two boys in sporting outfits, of which one is holding a football and has his arm around the other's neck and shoulder, whilst the other carries a shoulder bag and a badminton racket, while holding the other at the waist, thus expressing close friendship among sportsmen, even of different disciplines, and in the background are some vague aquarelles of people playing different kinds of sports, including swimming, football, basketball, takraw, table tennis or ping pong, badminton and volleyball.
