I remember seeing it in my US history book in high school. A group of British nobility (presumably King George III was there) were in the process of chopping off the head of a goose. It was either a political cartoon or an actual painting that criticized the King of England for taxing the life out of his extremely lucrative American colonies (killing his "golden goose"). I looked all over Google and couldn't find it.

Link to the painting itself or even just the name of the artist or title would be fantastic. Thanks!
