"Rævesaksen" is a satirical engraving from 1788 depicting a scene of political commentary, likely related to the Danish government. The artwork features a group of individuals, including a woman holding a flag with a cross, a man pointing at barrels of wine, and another man holding a flag with a different design. The anonymous artist created a detailed depiction of the scene in a clear, engaging style that likely resonated with the public at the time. The use of satire and political symbolism allows for exploration of 18th-century Danish society and its challenges. "Rævesaksen" is a valuable historical artifact housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
