About this work

Satirical print on the intrigues of the Orangists in Utrecht, possibly in connection with the election of Sichterman, 1785. In a cooperage, the Dutch Lion destroys a vat in which the monster of aristocracy hides. In the office, the master journeyman (Prince Willem V) gets drunk. On the right, Petrus Hofstede and Kaat Mossel sharpen a knife. From Aachen, the Duke of Brunswick watches through a telescope. From the clouds, a hand extends seven rifles of the People's Power. Below the plate, a poem in two columns.
