"Spotprent op de herstemmingen in Gorkum, Gouda en Delft" is a satirical cartoon by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans from 1873. This lithograph depicts three figures in a dynamic composition. One figure, a woman, holds a crown high above her head while another figure with no face appears to be climbing over her. The third figure, a man, appears to be looking on in dismay. The artist uses a sharp and expressive line in this print, creating a visually striking image that critiques the political situation of the time. This print is a powerful example of the use of satire in art. It provides a historical context for the events of 1873 in the Netherlands and uses an artistic style that reflects the time period.
