Spotprent op de vrijwilligerkorpsen in Nederland, 1870 1870

This satirical caricature, created by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans in 1870, humorously depicts a woman dressed in a military uniform. The woman, with exaggerated features and a plume in her hat, is standing in front of a table with bottles of alcohol, suggesting a critique of the involvement of women in the Dutch volunteer corps. The artwork, titled "Spotprent op de vrijwilligerkorpsen in Nederland", uses humor to convey a social commentary on gender roles and the military. This pen and ink drawing is a prime example of Dutch satirical art from the 19th century.
