Spotprent op De Potter, ca. 1830 1830 - 1832

This satirical print, created by an anonymous artist around 1830-1832, mocks the instability of the newly formed Belgian state. The central figure, a caricature of a Belgian citizen, is depicted as a precarious figure, with their body made up of stacked pots and a "Belgian freedom" flag held aloft. The figure stands precariously on a flag symbolizing the Dutch Republic, highlighting the struggle for independence. The print's exaggerated style and humorous tone make it a powerful commentary on the political climate of the time.
