De dwerg Hanß Görge Prijhann als woeste officier, ca. 1710 1705 - 1715

Martin Engelbrecht's satirical etching *De dwerg Hanß Görge Prijhann als woeste officier* (1705-1715) depicts Hans Gorge Prihann, a dwarf, as a fierce, but comical, officer. Prihann was an infamous character in 18th-century Dutch society, known for his wild behavior. The print captures his caricatured persona, exaggerating his physical characteristics for comedic effect. Engelbrecht's work, often referencing contemporary social and political happenings, provides a humorous and insightful glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during this period.
