X: Ten Years is a 1599 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows four kids playing with a dog and a monkey in a room. Three of them are dressed in fancy old-time clothes, while one wears a simple shirt. Outside the window, a busy street with buildings and people is drawn in the background. The monkey is chained to a table, and the kids seem to be sharing toys. The text around the edge is in Latin, which might hint at a deeper meaning. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed images like this.
