Portret van L. van Zwijndregt 1783 - 1787

Theodorus de Roode's *Portret van L. van Zwijndregt* is a satirical etching, created between 1783 and 1787. The artwork depicts a portrait of L. van Zwijndregt within a circular frame, while a cherubic figure with a club stands beside the frame. Below, a monstrous three-headed figure with wings is defeated, symbolizing van Zwijndregt's victory. The text at the bottom of the etching, written in Dutch, further highlights the satirical nature of the piece, likely referencing a political event or personality of the time. The work exemplifies the Dutch Rococo style, with its playful use of allegory and focus on detailed, expressive figures.
