Theodoor Koning's *Titelpagina voor: De Politieke Kruyer, dl. 3* is an etching and engraving, a type of printmaking that uses an acid bath to create a design. It depicts a scene with a figure in a toga handing a scroll to a man holding a shield. A knight in armor lies defeated at the bottom of the image. The drawing was likely part of a series of satirical prints, like the *De Politieke Kruyer*, which were a form of political commentary in the 18th century. This 1783-1785 piece is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
