"XLVI Afkomst seyt niet" is a 17th-century engraving by Dutch poet and writer Roemer Visscher. It depicts a hand holding a brush, suggesting a metaphorical connection to the proverb "Afkomst seyt niet" (Origin doesn't matter), which is a common theme in Visscher's work. This engraving was featured in his "Sinnepoppen" series, which was a collection of proverbs and moral lessons, intended to offer guidance and wisdom to a wide audience. The detail and craftsmanship of the engraving demonstrate Visscher's skill as an artist and his dedication to conveying his message in a visually captivating manner.
