"Drie ingekwartierde Franse soldaten lachen een dienstmeid uit als zij betaling vraagt voor de drank" (Three Quartered French Soldiers Laugh at a Maid When She Asks for Payment for the Drink) is a satirical etching by Johan Daniël de Gijselaar, a Dutch artist, depicting the occupation of the Netherlands by French troops during the French Revolutionary Wars. The scene takes place in an inn, where a maid is demanding payment from the French soldiers, who are laughing at her request. This humorous depiction of a tense situation was common in Dutch art during this period, and often showcased the frustration of Dutch citizens with the occupation.
