engraving

This 1614 engraving by Dutch artist Roemer Visscher, titled "LII Soo langh daer wat in is," is part of a larger collection of illustrations for a book titled "Het Eerste Schock," published in Amsterdam. The image depicts a small, closed chest with its lid open and a few bottles and a bag spilling out from it. The engraving highlights the work's detail, evident in the rendering of the wood grain, the bottle's glass, and the leather bag. This image would have been meant to be humorous, as a part of the book's larger exploration of Dutch social life in the early 17th century.
