Als soldaat verklede adelaar zit op een tank 1933 - 1945

This satirical pencil drawing, titled "Als soldaat verklede adelaar zit op een tank" (Eagle Dressed as Soldier Sits on a Tank), was created by Dutch artist Henk Henriët between 1933 and 1945. The work depicts a giant eagle, dressed as a soldier and perched on a tank, towering over a line of diminutive soldiers. The image is a powerful allegory for the absurdity of war and the dangers of blind nationalism, a recurring theme in Henriët's work. This satirical piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, continues to resonate with audiences today.
