Spotprent op de Hollandse en Zeeuwse edelen die prins Willem IV het markiezaat van Veere en Vlissingen betwisten, ca. 1733 1732 - 1734

This satirical etching, created by an anonymous artist between 1732 and 1734, depicts a scene where Dutch and Zeeland nobles are playing a game of chance. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the political climate of the time, where a group of noblemen wager on the fate of Prince Willem IV, who was embroiled in a dispute over the marquisate of Veere and Vlissingen. The print's detailed portrayal of the characters, their expressions, and the surrounding environment reveals a complex narrative surrounding power, ambition, and the precariousness of political alliances.
