This satirical etching by James Gillray, titled "Spotprent op Charles Fox, 1788," is a caricature of Charles Fox and other prominent British politicians from the late 18th century. The artwork, part of a larger series of political cartoons, uses humor and exaggeration to comment on the political landscape of the time. The figures are portrayed in exaggerated poses and with distorted features, reflecting Gillray’s sharp wit and critical perspective on the individuals he depicted. This particular piece, created between 1756 and 1815, exemplifies Gillray's satirical approach to political commentary and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
