"Knoddigheden / Grotesques" (1827-1894) by M. Hemeleers-van Houter (1880) is a hand-colored lithograph depicting a series of comical scenes featuring exaggerated figures. This work exemplifies the popular genre of caricature prevalent in 19th-century Netherlands, highlighting the absurdity and humor of everyday life through distorted features and exaggerated poses. Each vignette provides a witty commentary on social interactions and human behavior. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring power of visual satire.
