XV Helpt u selven 1614

"XV Helpt u selven" is a woodcut from 1614 by Roemer Visscher, a Dutch artist and writer. The print features a squirrel in a natural setting and appears to be part of a larger series of engravings with accompanying text. The image exemplifies the detailed style common to Visscher's work, known for its naturalism and intricate depictions of the animal world. The artwork's title and textual content suggest an allegorical theme related to self-reliance, which was likely a common subject in Visscher's work. The piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Visscher's skill as an engraver and his interest in the natural world.
