Groothans and the Privilege finder. Cartoon on the regents of Amsterdam, 1690. The Privilege seeker (the bourgeoisie of Amsterdam) kneels begging and crying with a yoke on his shoulders near a large lanto (with which he seeks privileges), on the left a regent hands him a book. On the left a pile of privileges (of Amsterdam) that rats gnaw at and against which a dog pees. In the background on the right a funeral procession in the cemetery indicated as: desolate cercof for Previlegia. Marked top left: in 't eerste deel der keurdichten voor pag. 411., Groothans en de Privilege-zoeker, 1690
