Hier ziet gy in dees prent vertoond / Hoe de moetwil word gestraft (...) Possibly 1550 - 1780

This woodcut by Johannes (II) Kannewet, titled "Hier ziet gy in dees prent vertoond / Hoe de moetwil word gestraft (...)" and dated sometime between 1550-1780, depicts a scene of punishment. The central figure, kneeling and feeding pigs, is likely the subject of the punishment. The surrounding text offers further context, though it is written in Dutch, and its translation remains unknown. The woodcut's meticulous detailing and the starkness of the scene create a powerful and lasting impression, exemplifying a common motif of moralizing illustrations of the era. This woodcut, housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the artistic and cultural expression of the 16th and 17th centuries.
