"De Notenkraker" (The Nutcracker) is a satirical illustration by Dutch artist Albert (I) Hahn, created in 1907. The image depicts a group of men in formal attire, likely representing a committee or organization. One man stands and points toward a chair, while another bends down towards the floor. This humorous illustration was published in the satirical magazine "De Notenkraker," which ran from 1907 to 1908 and featured humorous illustrations on political and social topics. The artwork may be commenting on social norms and power dynamics, with the bent-over man symbolizing subservience or respect. The satirical nature of the illustration is evident through exaggerated facial expressions and poses.
