De poppen-kast / Vijfde stuk. Het geheimzinnige dier c. 1843 - 1920

"De poppenkast / Vijfde stuk. Het geheimzinnige dier" (c. 1843 - 1920) is a series of six illustrations by C. Reinhardt. The artwork depicts a humorous scene of a puppet show. The puppets are made from simple shapes, and the expressions on their faces are exaggerated. This drawing captures the playful and imaginative nature of puppet shows, a popular form of entertainment in the 19th century. The drawings are made in a style of pen and ink, similar to illustrations in children's books of the time.
