XVII Diese minst behoeft, isser best aen 1614

"XVII Diese minst behoeft, isser best aen," is an engraving by Dutch artist Roemer Visscher from 1614. This is one of 53 prints from his series "Sinnepoppen" which depict human vices and virtues as symbolic figures. In this example, the image is of a large wooden tool or weapon being hammered into the ground, perhaps representing the need for labor and perseverance. This engraving is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
