This paper proposes a semiotic reading of the book "Children's Games" (1560) by the artist Pieter Bruegel (1525-1569). The theory of analysis adopted corresponds to American Semiotics, The literature review on image reading, based on studies of Gestalt theory and the Foundations of Language and Visual Literacy, demonstrate the aesthetic and expressive aspects of the image under study. The aim is to analyze the work’s image as a process of signification or semiosis.
