"Ziet dees Beesten mee haar vere / Gemaakt tot ons pleyzier," is a broadside print by Johannes (II) Kannewet, created sometime between 1725 and 1780. The print features four illustrations, depicting a peacock, a magpie, a goat, and a horse. Each animal is depicted in a simplified, stylized manner, characteristic of the woodcut printing technique used in the 18th century. The work likely served as a popular entertainment for the general public, showcasing the artistic talent and printing capabilities of the time. It's currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
