Comité van Bondgenootschap, 1795 1795

This satirical etching, “Comité van Bondgenootschap,” created by James Gillray in 1795, portrays a chaotic scene of a group of men clinging to each other, with one man holding a chair and another on a ladder. Gillray’s work often lampooned political figures and events, and this piece is likely a commentary on the political climate of the time. The artist's keen eye for detail and use of caricature make this a powerful example of satirical art.
