"Taking Physic" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1804. The artwork is a pointed political commentary, which was a hallmark of Gillray's oeuvre, and it reflects the artist's capacity to intertwine humor with biting social critique. The print depicts King George III, a frequent subject of Gillray's satire, as a patient taking medicine, a metaphor for the political "remedies" being administered to the country during a turbulent period in British history.

The scene is rich with allegory and symbolism, showcasing Gillray's skill in capturing the essence of the political climate through visual means. The characters and objects within the print are often representative of broader political ideas or figures, and the work is noted for its intricate detail and layered meanings. "Taking Physic" serves not only as a piece of artistic expression but also as a historical document, offering insight into the public perception of political events and personalities of the time.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "Taking Physic" was published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship. The print has been analyzed by art historians and political scholars alike, and it remains a significant example of the power of visual satire to shape public discourse. Today, "Taking Physic" is preserved in various collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
