"A Voluptuary Under the Horrors of Digestion" is a renowned satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on July 2, 1792. The artwork is a biting commentary on the excesses of gluttony and the consequences of indulgence in luxury and sensual pleasures. It depicts George, Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV, in a state of physical discomfort and distress following a bout of overeating, embodying the figure of a voluptuary—a person devoted to luxury and sensual pleasure.

The print showcases Gillray's mastery of caricature, with the Prince portrayed in a grotesquely corpulent state, surrounded by the opulent trappings of his lifestyle. The image is replete with symbols of excess, including remnants of food and drink, which serve to underscore the moral message regarding the dangers of self-indulgence. The Prince's pained expression and the chaotic scene around him reflect the societal concerns of the time about decadence and moral decay among the elite.

As a work of political and social satire, "A Voluptuary Under the Horrors of Digestion" is a significant example of the power of visual art to influence public opinion and critique the behavior of public figures. The print remains an important artifact of Georgian-era satire and is often cited in discussions of British caricature and the cultural history of the late 18th century. It is held in various collections, including the British Museum, and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
