This 1615 etching, known as a title print for a pamphlet, shows a dramatic scene with a group of men on horseback. They are riding towards a group of people who are gathered in a fenced area. The scene depicts the "strange dance" that the Dutch were forced to perform as a result of foreign interference, in what is likely a satirical take on the political situation of the time. The artwork, likely created by an anonymous artist, is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into Dutch history through a visual narrative.
