"Dwerg als officier met grote verenhoed en een speelkaart in de hand" is an etching by Dutch artist Andries van Buysen, dating from 1718-1720. This satirical print depicts a dwarf in military attire, adorned with a large feathered hat and holding a playing card. It is a humorous representation of social hierarchy and the absurdity of power. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, reflects the popular culture of the time, with its use of caricature and biting social commentary.
