About this work

Satirical print in which Hendrik van der Noot and Petrus van Eupen sit on the back of a naked woman. They are connected by chains to the blindfolded Brabant lion and are lured by a young woman (Madame Pinau?) causing the blind lion to threaten to step into a pit. In the sky, the Austrian eagle with shackles in its mouth. In the background, a devil on a donkey in a cave. With a four-line French inscription. Here the date April 3, 1790 is handwritten. Part of a large group of prints relating to the events of the Brabant Revolution and the period 1787-1790.
