This satirical lithograph by John Doyle, possibly created in 1847, depicts Lord Russell entering a forest. Doyle's use of caricature is evident in the exaggerated features of the figure. The caption, "Tancred Entering the Enchanted Forest," suggests a political commentary. Trees with "Irish Party" carved into their trunks indicate a potential criticism of Irish politics. The artwork, currently located at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Doyle's sharp wit and commentary on contemporary events through visual satire.
