"Hollands antwoord op Holland in de Franse drukpers, 1672-1673" is an etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe, dating back to 1673-1674. This satirical print depicts a symbolic battle between the Netherlands (represented by a lion) and France (represented by a lion with a human head). The Dutch lion is shown fighting back against the French aggressor, symbolizing the Dutch resistance against the French invasion of 1672. This piece is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
