George III Leading an Army of Jugs
After Jacques Louis David French
Not on view
This hand-colored caricature print represents the English army in the form of jugs, being led by George III in the form of a pitcher. Although the name of the printmaker is not known, the design is credited to the history painter, Jacques Louis David. It is one of two caricatures attributed to David; both were the result of a commission from the Committee of Public Safety in the fall of 1793. He is recorded as presenting his two designs to the Committee on March 27, 1794.
