"The Queen's––[Ass]" is a satirical print by Henry Kingsbury, an English artist who specialized in caricature and political cartoons. Created in 1787, the print depicts a fashionable gentleman in striped clothing, standing in an interior setting with a zebra pictured on the wall, likely referencing the newly arrived zebra at the London Zoo. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and exemplifies the social commentary and humor common in 18th-century caricature.
