This satirical etching, "Man on crutches with fly poison," by Pieter van Woensel, is a commentary on the human condition. The artwork depicts a man on crutches, struggling to walk, as he pours fly poison from a bottle, with flies swarming around him. This satirical engraving, created between 1795 and 1796, uses a visual metaphor to emphasize the futility of life's struggles. The small scale of the artwork, measuring 123 mm by 90 mm, emphasizes the intimate nature of the critique.
