Spotprent op een voorval waarbij een officier door jongere officieren tot ontslag is gedwongen, 1862 1862

Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans's satirical lithograph *Spotprent op een voorval waarbij een officier door jongere officieren tot ontslag is gedwongen, 1862* (1862) depicts a scene of a Dutch officer in the East Indies being forced to resign by his subordinates. The officer stands in the middle of a group of men, while a man in a top hat salutes him with his hand on his head. The officer appears humiliated, while the men around him seem amused. The image is a commentary on the power dynamics within the Dutch military in the 19th century. The artist's use of exaggerated features and caricature brings humor and criticism to this satirical work.
