This satirical print, "Comité van Hoge, Lage en Middelbare Heerlijkheden," was created by James Gillray in 1795. The artwork depicts a stork, a goose, and a turtle in a landscape setting. Gillray, a renowned British caricaturist, was known for his sharp wit and political commentary. The print likely lampoons Dutch political figures, using animal symbolism to represent different classes or factions. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
