This satirical print, titled "Spotprent op de Hollanders (nr. 4)", is part of a series of anonymous caricatures that were created in 1814 to lampoon the Dutch people. The print depicts three figures representing different Dutch stereotypes: a man smoking a pipe, a man shouting with his arms outstretched, and a man sitting on a stool with a bottle of wine at his feet. Each figure has a caption in French, providing a commentary on their actions. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, uses humor and exaggeration to offer a glimpse into the social commentary prevalent in 19th-century Dutch society.
