"Allegorie op de politieke situatie in het jaar 1672" is a 1672 etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe. The etching depicts an allegorical scene with a group of figures surrounding a woman sitting on a throne. This etching is a commentary on the political situation of the Dutch Republic in 1672, a year known as the "Rampjaar" ("Disaster Year") due to the invasions of the Netherlands by Louis XIV of France. This historical event is represented symbolically within the etching, and is a good example of de Hooghe's works that are often satirical and political in nature.
