About this work
Satirical print on the Committee of French Requisitions, 1795. Members of the committee seize money and goods from the Dutch population. In the center, the French general François Joseph Léfebvre pulls the wig off a man's head. On the ground lies a list of all seized goods, including '500 Boeufs hollandais' and 60,000 'Fromages d'Edam'. In the background, a covered wagon full of requisitions, including the Natural History Cabinet of the stadtholder.
