XXXI Dummodo prosim 1614

"XXXI Dummodo prosim" is an etching by Roemer Visscher, a prominent Dutch engraver, from 1614. It is part of a series of prints titled "Van de Sinnepoppen," which explores the theme of human folly through allegorical figures. This particular print depicts a large, cone-shaped net floating in the water, symbolizing the dangers of relying solely on luck and circumstance, rather than perseverance and diligence. The print can be found in the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of Visscher's detailed and expressive style.
