This 18th-century Dutch satirical print from the Rijksmuseum, titled "Karikatuur van dwerg en de windhandel, 1720", depicts a caricature of a dwarf holding a hat. The print's anonymous artist utilizes exaggeration and distortion to satirize the subject. The dwarf's oversized head, long wig, and large cloak contribute to the humorous and grotesque effect of the image. Such satirical prints were popular in the 1700s, providing social commentary and entertainment for the Dutch public.
