"Twee dwergen voor de maand februari, 1720" is a print from the 18th century by Dutch artist J. van Kralingen. The image depicts two dwarves dressed in lavish clothing and is a humorous depiction of a romantic encounter, likely created for a calendar or almanac. This small-scale print exemplifies the tradition of visual satire that flourished in the Netherlands during this period. The work is a prime example of the genre of caricature, where exaggeration and humor are used to critique societal norms.
