Jagend en vissend gezelschap Possibly 1800 - 1805

This hand-colored etching by George Cruikshank, titled "Jagend en vissend gezelschap" (Hunting and Fishing Company), is a satirical depiction of two popular English pastimes. The artwork, dating to the early 19th century, features two scenes: one depicting a chaotic shooting party and another showing a fishing excursion gone awry. Cruikshank's signature caricature style is evident in the exaggerated figures and humorous situations, making this a delightful example of British social commentary. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Cruikshank's skill as a visual satirist.
