De dwerg Piperouk als directeur van een tabakscompagnie, ca. 1710 1705 - 1715

Martin Engelbrecht's satirical etching, "De dwerg Piperouk als directeur van een tabakscompagnie," depicts a caricature of a dwarf, likely a real person, in a ridiculous pose. He is smoking a pipe and wearing a multi-colored hat. His large belly and disproportionate limbs are exaggerated for comedic effect, a style characteristic of Dutch satirical prints in the early 18th century. This print, along with other works by Engelbrecht, highlights the social and political commentary that was prevalent during his time.
