Daine op de vlucht, 1831 1831

"Daine op de vlucht" (1831) is an anonymous satirical print that depicts the flight of a "Daine," a derogatory term used to describe the Belgian people, from a regiment of Dutch soldiers. The scene, executed in a vibrant style characteristic of early 19th-century political cartoons, showcases a satirical perspective on the conflict between the Dutch and Belgians, highlighting the tension and animosity surrounding their relationship. The inscription at the bottom further contextualizes the scene, revealing the satirical intent of the artwork: "Hollandaad der Bourgoische Daine by het naderen der Hollandsche vrijwillige Schutters in Militairen." The print is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, measuring 240 mm in height and 391 mm in width.
