This 1706 satirical print from the Rijksmuseum depicts Lodewijk Willem I, Margrave of Baden-Baden. The anonymous artist created a caricature of the Margrave holding scales of justice in one hand and a sword in the other, symbolizing the balance of power in the Holy Roman Empire. The print also includes a map of the region and text in Dutch and French, which further illuminates the political context of the work. This artwork offers a glimpse into the artistic trends and political commentary of the early 18th century.
