"XXIV Cum vult, potest," is a 1614 etching by Roemer Visscher. The work features a lion and a sheep, a classic allegory of strength versus vulnerability. The image is likely from Visscher's book "Sinnepoppen", a collection of moral fables.

This artwork provides insight into Visscher's artistry and the moral teachings that were popular in the Netherlands during the 17th century.
