"Spotprent met premier Peel als eenmansorkest," is a satirical lithograph by John Doyle, possibly created between 1845 and 1847. The artwork depicts Sir Robert Peel, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, playing a variety of instruments while others watch on, highlighting his role as a political figure. The satirical nature of the work is evident in the exaggerated portrayal of Peel and the inclusion of humorous details, like the inscription reading "EXTRAORDINARY MUSICIAN! NOT PLAYS ON VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS - ALL AT ONCE!". The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Doyle's keen observation and talent for political caricature.
