This satirical broadside print by Romeyn de Hooghe depicts the conflict between Willem III, King of England, and the city of Amsterdam in 1690. The print portrays a group of figures representing the city of Amsterdam, led by a figure playing a drum, while a figure representing Willem III stands in the background. The visual humor of the print is emphasized by the use of caricature and symbolism, creating a powerful image of conflict and tension between the two entities. The inscription on the print details a satirical poem that further elucidates the conflict. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the complex political landscape of 17th-century Netherlands.
