Patriots vignet, 1795 1795

"Patriots Vignet" is a small-scale etching by Johannes Jelgerhuis, created in 1795. The artwork features an allegorical depiction of Dutch patriotism, with a female figure representing the nation, holding a spear and a flag, standing on a block with the inscription "We are all brothers," and a dog breaking its chains. The scene is set in a landscape with a cannon and other symbols, reflecting the era's political turmoil. The print was likely part of a series of similar vignettes promoting Dutch national identity and unity.
