De dwerg Slenderhenkius van Poepenland, 1720 1718 - 1720

"De dwerg Slenderhenkius van Poepenland, 1720", a satirical print by Pieter van Buysen jr., depicts a dwarf, Slenderhenkius, pointing towards a window containing figures of a monkey, a parrot, and a bust. This etching, created between 1718 and 1720, is a prime example of 18th-century Dutch satirical prints, known for their comical and often controversial representations of society. The print's small size, measuring 169 mm by 105 mm, and the accompanying text in Dutch, contribute to its intimate and engaging nature.
