Spotprent op de gelijktijdige zittingen van de Eerste en Tweede Kamer, 1869 1869

This satirical cartoon, *Spotprent op de gelijktijdige zittingen van de Eerste en Tweede Kamer* by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, depicts two women representing the First and Second Chambers of the Dutch Parliament. The woman on the left, representing the Second Chamber, points to the woman on the right, who represents the First Chamber, implying that the First Chamber is in charge. This 1869 work humorously highlights the political tensions between the two chambers, using caricature and symbolism to engage the viewer in the debates of the time.
