"Prinses Charlotte uitgespeeld met haar Hollandse tol" is a satirical hand-colored etching by the prolific English artist George Cruikshank. The artwork depicts a scene of Princess Charlotte of Wales, the only legitimate child of King George IV, attempting to entertain her father with a Dutch top. The artwork was created sometime between 1814 and 1817, during a time of political and social tension between England and the Netherlands. The artwork, currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a rare example of Cruikshank's work and is considered a valuable piece of British social history.
