This is a satirical political cartoon, "Spotprent op Groen van Prinsterer op een bal," by Dutch artist Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans. The drawing depicts a woman in a large, elaborate gown, holding a fan with the word "Revolutie" inscribed on it. A man stands before her, holding a card that says "Bridewell". This artwork uses visual humor to comment on political happenings in 19th-century Netherlands, and it is an example of caricature.
