"Spotprent op minister F.A. van Hall" is a satirical caricature created by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans in 1860. The drawing depicts the Dutch Minister of Finance, F.A. van Hall, as a large figure holding two hats, from which emerge tiny figures representing the Dutch people. This caricature, measuring 275mm x 215mm, is a commentary on Van Hall's political and economic policies, using humor and exaggeration to criticize his perceived failings in governing.
