This 19th-century woodcut by Mindermann & Co., titled "Nu ik mijn Vijand heb gemaakt geheel confuis / Zoo stap ik onvermoeid / weer naar mijn Boerenhuis" (Now that I have made my enemy completely confused / So I step tirelessly / back to my farmhouse) depicts a rooster standing proudly in a rural landscape. The rooster, a symbol of vigilance and masculinity, appears victorious, emphasizing the proverb-like text below. This print, part of a series, likely served as a moralistic illustration for a Dutch audience. The detailed depiction of the rooster’s plumage and the surrounding scenery highlights the craftsmanship of the woodcutting technique.
