Hertogin van York en de Prins van Wales dansen een menuet, 1791 Possibly 1791

James Gillray's satirical print "The York Minuet" depicts the Duchess of York and the Prince of Wales awkwardly dancing a minuet. The caricature, dating back to 1791, is a humorous commentary on the Royal Family, showcasing Gillray's sharp wit and ability to capture the essence of social satire. The exaggerated poses of the figures and the details of their clothing further emphasize the artist's intent to poke fun at the royal couple. This artwork is a prime example of Gillray's mastery of political cartoons, which often addressed social and political issues of his time.
