This satirical drawing by Albert Hahn depicts a powerful figure sweeping away a mass of small people with a broom, a visual commentary on class struggles and societal inequalities in early 20th century Dutch society. Created in 1904-1905, the artwork, titled "Arbeider veegt de zwarte kliek weg," uses a striking contrast between the imposing figure of the worker and the diminutive figures of the "black clique" to emphasize the power dynamics. This style of graphic illustration, often used for social commentary, resonates with the art of the time, and highlights the artist's keen interest in the social issues of his era.
