(original title in french: Le dessin enfantin) was written by Georges Luquet, first published in 1927. His most famous book “Le Dessin Enfantin” (“Children’s Drawing”) was published in 1927. This book will strike the basis for all future discussions on the analysis of children’s drawings as an aspect of developmental psychology. Luquet was remembered and influential by this period, as well as his famous statement, “Children draw what they know rather than what they see”. Luquet was the first one who did not consider non usage of the perspective as a failure. “What matters to the child is not the contingent and varying appearance of the object, dependent upon a particular viewpoint, but its appearance in itself, sub specie aeternitatis (the eternal form)”.
