Spotprent op het vertrek van prins Willem V, 1795 1795

This satirical print, created anonymously in 1795, depicts the departure of Prince William V from the Netherlands. The print, titled "Willem's Afscheid" (William's Farewell), satirizes the Prince's flight from the Dutch Republic during the Batavian Revolution. The print shows William V with a worried expression as he is being offered a farewell drink by a woman, seemingly a symbol of the Netherlands, while another figure kneels before him. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable insight into the political climate and public opinion surrounding the Batavian Revolution.
