Spotprent over oudejaarsavond 1860 - 1890

"Spotprent over oudejaarsavond" (New Year's Eve Cartoon) is a satirical woodcut by Belgian artist Jan Holswilder, created between 1860 and 1890. The print depicts a group of men huddled around a lantern, peering into its reflection. This humorous portrayal of a New Year's Eve celebration likely comments on social trends or events of the time. The use of black and white woodcut printing creates a dramatic and stylized aesthetic, reminiscent of the artist's other satirical works. This artwork is a good example of the satirical printmaking techniques used by Holswilder in the late 19th century.
