"The Song of the Cossack" is a lithograph by the French artist J.J. Grandville from 1836. This illustration, depicting a Cossack warrior riding a horse with a whip in hand, was created as part of a larger collection of artwork illustrating the work of French poet Pierre-Jean de Béranger. The artwork is an example of Grandville's use of caricature to explore and satirize social and political issues of his time.
