"Spotprent op de arminianen" is a satirical print from 1623 by Claes Jansz. Visscher. The artwork depicts a headless figure standing on stilts and holding scales, with a skull in one hand. The figure represents Arminians, a theological group in the Netherlands, who were criticized for their beliefs. The print is a powerful commentary on the theological debates of the time and illustrates the tension between Calvinist and Arminian doctrines. The image is a prime example of Visscher's talent for satirical engravings. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, measuring 346 mm in height and 283 mm in width.
