XXXI Op dat het recht gae 1614

"XXXI Op dat het recht gae" is an engraving from 1614 by Dutch artist Roemer Visscher, featured in the Rijksmuseum. This illustration from Visscher's book "Sinnepoppen" depicts a hand holding a bow and arrow, with the inscription "Op dat het recht gae" above. This engraving is likely a part of a series of visual metaphors, or "sinnepoppen," which were popular in the 17th century and represented concepts or ideas. Visscher's work often explored themes of morality and virtue. The simple yet powerful imagery in this engraving may symbolize the pursuit of justice or the strength of righteousness.
