"Veroordeelde wordt doodgeknuppeld op de Hawaïaanse eilanden" (Condemned Man Being Clubbed to Death on the Hawaiian Islands) is an 1822 engraving by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, depicting a gruesome scene of execution in the Kingdom of Hawaii. The print is a stark visual representation of the brutality of the punishment and the power dynamics that existed in 19th-century Hawaii. It is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and serves as a historical document reflecting the social and cultural realities of the time.
