"Membre du Directoire Executif" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The work is a pointed political commentary on the French Directorate, the governing five-member committee which ruled France from 1795 until 1799, during the latter stages of the French Revolution. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate engravings, often took aim at political figures and events of his time, and this piece is no exception.

The print depicts a corpulent member of the French Directory in a state of undress, embodying the excess and corruption that were often associated with the Directory regime. Gillray's caricature exaggerates the figure's features and attire, using visual hyperbole to critique the perceived decadence and moral decay of the French political elite. The artwork serves as a historical document, reflecting the British perspective on the tumultuous political landscape in France and the wider concerns of European politics at the turn of the 19th century.

As with many of Gillray's works, "Membre du Directoire Executif" is notable for its intricate detail and the artist's skillful use of etching and engraving techniques. The print is part of a larger body of work that solidified James Gillray's reputation as one of the foremost political satirists of his era and remains an important example of the power of visual satire to shape public opinion and political discourse.
