De dwerg Nicolas Charon als een generaal van de cavalerie, ca. 1710 1705 - 1715

This satirical etching by Martin Engelbrecht, created sometime between 1705 and 1715, portrays Nicolas Charon, Viscount of Corbeillac, as a caricatured general. The etching is part of a larger series of satirical portraits that likely served as a form of political commentary and social critique. The artist exaggerates Charon's features and attire, depicting him with an oversized head and a flamboyant hat, while the inscription highlights his perceived lack of merit and intelligence. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the spirit of the era, blending satire with social commentary.
