About this work

Satirical print on the political relations between the Republic and England, ca. 1780. The venerable Dutch merchant distributes money to hardworking laborers, farmers and artists. Other investors on the left are rejected. In the foreground, the Dutch Lion and the French rooster drive away the English dog. See also the pendant. Below the print, a separately printed divergent explanation is pasted on.
