"Caricature of Pizarro contemplating the product of his new Peruvian mine" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The artwork is a pointed political commentary, employing the figure of Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish conquistador known for his conquest of the Inca Empire, as a metaphor for contemporary events. Gillray, who was active during a golden age of British caricature, used his sharp wit and artistic skill to critique and lampoon figures of authority and the political landscape of his time.

In this caricature, Pizarro is depicted in a moment of reflection, examining the output of a mine, which serves as an allegory for the exploitation and wealth extraction from colonial endeavors. The print is rich with symbolism and allusion, typical of Gillray's work, and invites viewers to consider the broader implications of imperialism and its beneficiaries. The caricature is a testament to Gillray's mastery of the medium, his ability to encapsulate complex political messages within a single image, and his influence on the development of satirical art.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "Caricature of Pizarro contemplating the product of his new Peruvian mine" would have been circulated among the politically informed public and sold at print shops in London, contributing to the vibrant public discourse of the time. The work remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the political sentiments and societal critiques of the late 18th century, as well as the enduring legacy of colonialism. It is also a notable example of the power of visual satire to shape public opinion and challenge the status quo.
