Drie vrouwen als generaals 1608

Jacob van der Heyden's 1608 engraving "Drie vrouwen als generaals" depicts a satirical scene of three women dressed as generals. The women are leading a group of soldiers, while a group of men sit at a table in the foreground, drinking and feasting. This etching, a form of printmaking, reflects a cultural critique, suggesting that when women take control, things don't end well. The work's small size highlights the detail of the scene and the artist's skilled hand.
