This anonymous 1690 satirical engraving, titled "Reproductie van de Franse spotprent op de vermeende dood van Willem III, 1690," depicts a procession of French figures carrying a stretcher with the body of King William III of England. The artwork mocks the French belief that the king had died, highlighting the political tensions between England and France. It is an example of propaganda used in the 17th century, utilizing the powerful medium of visual satire to comment on current events. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the political climate and artistic expression of this era.
