What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

Behold, a charming drawing most delightful. It portrays a young child, his cheeks round and his hair curling softly about his head. He holds close to himself an impressively large gourd, which you might recognize as a pumpkin. These are commonly grown for sustenance, yet here, it appears in a size large enough to envelop the boy''s middle. The word "Halloween" sits atop the image, scribed in a playful manner, evocative of a festival or celebration that involves such fantastical elements. During this time, children and the folk enjoy adorning themselves and partaking in merriment involving the carving and displaying of such pumpkins.
