Twee dwergen voor de maand juli, 1720 1718 - 1720

"Twee dwergen voor de maand juli, 1720" is a satirical engraving created by Joost van Sassen in the early 18th century. The work depicts two dwarves, one holding a document, the other a pitchfork, their expressions comically exaggerated. The engraving was likely part of a series of satirical prints, commenting on social and political affairs of the time. The use of dwarfism as a subject reflects a prevailing interest in the grotesque and the unusual during the Baroque period. The detailed engravings and the text in Dutch and French further add to the charm and historical significance of this artwork.
