This satirical drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard depicts a figure, presumably the critic Baggesen, in a moment of comedic violence. He holds two figures, Rahbek and Sander, aloft, ready to hurl them to the ground. The scene mocks Baggesen's critical attacks on literary figures of the time. The drawing, created in the late 18th or early 19th century, is a testament to Abildgaard's skill as a caricaturist and provides a glimpse into the cultural landscape of Danish literature during this period. The artwork's title, "Satire over Baggesen," and the inclusion of specific names, including "Tilskueren" (the Spectator) and "Hospitalet," suggest a connection to Danish literary and political circles.
