A striking allegory of invasion and political satire rendered in luminous oil, this composition vibrates with tension and narrative drama. Painted by Johannes van Wijckersloot in 1672, the oil on canvas shows a laughing young man presenting a seated, cap-wearing figure with a printed sheet depicting the crowing French rooster above a ravaged Dutch garden. Below that scene the Dutch lion lies vanquished—sword broken, arrows scattered and the hedge trampled—while a music staff at the bottom adds a sardonic flourish. Rich in symbolism and baroque detail, it makes a compelling centerpiece for collectors and history lovers, bringing conversation and gravitas to any living room, study, or gallery wall.
