"Deeze os, zo groot en vet hy is, / Gaat straks des slagters byl niet mis, / Gevoed met gras en hooi, / Ondanks zyn kermis-tooi" is an engraving by J. Robyn depicting a decorated ox. The piece was created between 1715 and 1813, and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The inscription on the artwork highlights the irony of the ox's lavish decorations, hinting at its inevitable fate in the butcher's hands. This 18th-century Dutch engraving showcases the artistry of the period and offers a glimpse into the cultural and economic significance of cattle in 18th-century Dutch society.
