"XXXIV Hy leut 'dic leut / ick en leut naet", a 1614 engraving by Roemer Visscher (1547-1620), is a depiction of a fantastical human-like creature. The figure, depicted nude and holding a staff, represents the mythical "wild men" of the past. This is a common theme in Visscher's work, which often explores fantastical creatures, drawing on the artistic style and fascination with the unknown of the Renaissance era. This print is part of a larger series, "Het Derde Schock," which features similar depictions of mythical beings from the folklore of the Dutch Golden Age. This work can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
