Nieuwe Hollandse Oefeningen, 1795 Possibly 1795

This satirical print, "Nieuwe Hollandse Oefeningen" (A New Dutch Exercise), was created by Isaac Cruikshank in 1795, depicting various comical scenes of Dutch soldiers and civilians engaged in activities. The print uses caricature and exaggeration to ridicule the perceived incompetence and lethargy of the Dutch, a popular theme in British satirical prints of the time. The work is held by the Rijksmuseum and showcases Cruikshank’s talent for visual humor.
