XXVIII Wie weet waer 1614

"XXVIII Wie weet waer," a 1614 engraving by Dutch artist Roemer Visscher, depicts a man fishing by a river. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Visscher's signature style of intricate detail and illustrative storytelling. The scene captures a moment of quiet contemplation, with the fisherman seemingly lost in the act of waiting for a catch. The image's simplicity highlights the timeless themes of patience and the pursuit of a goal. Visscher's use of line and shading creates a sense of realism, making this a compelling example of Dutch 17th-century printmaking.
