Spotprent op het Verdrag van Fontainebleau, 1785 1785 - 1786

This anonymous etching, titled *Spotprent op het Verdrag van Fontainebleau, 1785*, depicts a historical scene. Dated to 1785-1786, it portrays a meeting between the King of France and the Holy Roman Emperor in a conference room, perhaps a private chamber in the Palace of Fontainebleau. This scene of diplomatic intrigue, likely a satiric take on the Treaty of Fontainebleau, offers a glimpse into the complex political landscape of 18th-century Europe. The etching is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a prime example of 18th-century political satire in the Dutch graphic arts.
