This satirical print by Salomon Oppenheim, titled "Man met ezelskop overhandigt buigende man een diploma" (c. 1880-1890), depicts a man with a donkey's head presenting a diploma to a bowing man. The print is a humorous commentary on the absurdities of society, using a whimsical and grotesque style. The inscription at the top of the print, “GEKHEID MAIR NEET BOETE DE SCHRAUM,” is a playful Dutch idiom referencing the hypocrisy of morality. The inscription at the bottom, “weghlustigheids Diploma en Oppositit terar hari Sin,” is a satirical take on a formal diploma, adding to the comedic and subversive nature of the piece.
