XLV Het moet wel 1614

This artwork is a 17th century engraving titled "XLV Het moet wel" by the Dutch artist Roemer Visscher. The engraving is a visual representation of a common proverb relating to the benefits of patience and hard work. It depicts a hen perched on a fence post, likely about to lay an egg. The scene is a simple one, but Visscher uses a strong sense of detail and perspective to bring the hen to life. This artwork was likely part of a larger series of engravings and has been preserved in the Rijksmuseum, where it can be seen by art lovers today.
