This 19th-century woodblock print, created by J. Robyn, depicts a large, intricately detailed ox adorned with flowers. The animal is shown in profile, standing in a rural landscape with a small village in the distance. The text, written in Dutch, humorously suggests the ox is "fattened with grass and hay" but destined for slaughter. The print likely served as a satirical commentary on the Dutch livestock industry and the contrasting aspects of beauty and brutality. The artwork, titled "Deez' os, zoo groot en vet hy is / Gevoed met gras en hooi, / Gaat straks des slagters byl niet mis. / Ondanks zyn kermis-tooi," is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
