This satirical print by Erven de Weduwe Jacobus van Egmont, titled *Die lui en lekker is, moet zich op reis begeeven, om in Luilekkerland als als de rest te leeven* (circa 1761-1804), depicts a journey to the fantastical land of "Luilekkerland" ("Lazy-Delicious Land"). The print, part of a series of satirical works, shows figures making their way towards this idyllic location where they will be able to live in leisure and abundance, highlighting the Dutch ideal of a comfortable and prosperous life. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch satirical prints, known for their use of humor and allegory to comment on contemporary social issues.
