"XXXVIII Unde habeas quaerit nemo" is a 1614 engraving by Roemer Visscher. It depicts a griffin, a mythical creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion, standing on a grassy knoll. This engraving is part of Visscher's series of "Sinnepoppen," which featured allegorical figures representing various virtues and vices. This particular griffin serves as a visual metaphor for those who use their power for evil, and is an excellent example of Visscher's skilled and detailed engraving style. The artwork is located at the Rijksmuseum and is a valuable piece for art enthusiasts interested in 17th century Dutch art and mythology.
