Mislukte kandidaatstelling 1900 - 1935

"Mislukte kandidaatstelling" (Failed Candidacy) is a satirical illustration by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon. The artwork, created between 1900 and 1935, depicts a woman in a yellow dress gesturing towards a man seated in a chair, seemingly disappointed. The man is dressed in a formal suit and appears despondent, holding papers in his hand. The scene suggests a political or social commentary, with the artist's use of caricature and exaggerated features to convey the characters' emotions. The artwork's title and visual imagery imply a narrative of political failure, leaving viewers to interpret the specific event or situation being depicted.
