Spotprent 1877

Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans's "Spotprent" from 1877 depicts a satirical scene of a religious festival, a "Evangeliefeest," at the Veenklooster Monastery in the Netherlands. The artist captures the social and religious context of the time in this drawing, highlighting the often boisterous nature of such events. The image, printed on a page of a newspaper-style publication, features a bustling gathering with a group of people, likely visitors, participating in a lively celebration.
