Spotprent op de paniek onder de patriotten na het herstel van stadhouder Willem V, 1787 Possibly 1787

This satirical print, created by James Gillray in 1787, titled *Spotprent op de paniek onder de patriotten na het herstel van stadhouder Willem V, 1787*, depicts the reinstatement of Stadtholder Willem V and the subsequent panic among the Dutch Patriots. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, uses exaggerated caricature and symbolic imagery to depict the downfall of the Patriot movement. It is a powerful example of Gillray's masterful use of visual satire to comment on contemporary political events.
