"Spotprent over de diefstal uit het Leidse prentenkabinet" is a satirical print by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, created in 1882. The print depicts the Greek goddess Athena, holding a spear and with a building labeled "Leidsch Prenten Kabinet" behind her. The caption, in Dutch, translates to "The punishment of Athena, Zeus' artistic daughter, who with a shameful hand steals from the print cabinet." The print is likely a commentary on the theft of prints from the Leiden Print Cabinet, a significant cultural institution in the Netherlands, highlighting the societal consequences of such actions.
