This anonymous 18th-century print depicts two caricatured figures, possibly satire of prominent individuals of the time. The print is likely a part of a larger series focusing on satire of Dutch society. This piece is executed in black and white, using detailed lines to exaggerate the figures’ features and expressions. The work is a prime example of satirical caricature, offering a glimpse into the social commentary of the 18th century.
