De dwerg Hans van Groten hoven Baron van Krulhaar, 1720 1718 - 1720

This satirical engraving, *De dwerg Hans van Groten hoven Baron van Krulhaar,* created by Pieter van Buysen jr. between 1718 and 1720, depicts a dwarf, Hans van Groten hoven Baron van Krulhaar. The etching is part of a larger satirical series, and it is characterized by its exaggerated features and the inscription, *Monsieur Roberty von Parukenfeldt Ritter dess langen Halsstuches in der grossen Galla.* This inscription further emphasizes the satirical nature of the artwork. The engraving likely aimed to ridicule the subject, using his physical appearance as a tool for social commentary. The work stands as an example of Dutch 18th-century satirical art.
