De dwerg Malper Höllriglin als waardin, ca. 1710 1705 - 1715

"De dwerg Malper Höllriglin als waardin" is a satirical etching created by Martin Engelbrecht between 1705 and 1715. The work depicts a caricature of a woman named Malper Höllriglin, known for her "drief lichen Haufs procefs" (unpleasant, foul-smelling behavior) and her tendency to eat and drink excessively. The work satirizes the social injustices of the time by exaggerating the features and behaviors of a lower-class figure. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the spirit of 18th-century Dutch caricature, where satire and exaggeration were used to critique social norms and behaviors.
