This satirical print, created by an anonymous artist in 1692, depicts King James II of England being mocked after his defeat at the Battle of La Hogue. The print shows James being presented with a cup by a figure representing France, while another figure, symbolizing Holland, looks on. The scene is set against a backdrop of a church and windmill, possibly symbolic of James's loss of power and the rise of a new era in England. The print's satirical nature and its depiction of a historical event make it an important example of Dutch printmaking in the 17th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
