"V Nutten sonder krassen" is an engraving from 1614 by Dutch artist Roemer Visscher (1547-1620). The artwork depicts a raven perched on a branch with its head turned to the side. Visscher's engraving is part of a larger series, "Het Tweede Schock," which explores the nature and characteristics of different animals. The detailed, realistic portrayal of the raven highlights Visscher's skill in creating intricate engravings with a focus on naturalism. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the enduring power of animal imagery in art.
