A somewhat enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (yesterday). Again, it is a cropped image of the full, click-to-enlarge image, found here.Böckligumpis (A.K.A. Böckligumpen) isn’t, as far as I can tell, currently shown online by its current-location (Bing translated), apart from page 27 of a document (text Google translated) for a prior exhibit (Google translation not much better than Bing translation).Based on the (German, I think) video found here, my guess is böckligumpen means jumping over things — not sure why the painting isn’t titled Bockspringen (Leapfrog, Wikipedia page currently shows a detail image, taken from an old painting, that shows the approach from this angle).Paintings by this artist often included children. His Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more, including a list of paintings) and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Eighth, of the 10 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (8 total).

Can you say concussion?!? Like getting a knee in the side of the head. The game of leap-frog in its early Darwin stage.

Strip leap frog would have been much more fun if they would have gotten some girls to play.
