Theo van Hoytema’s satirical cartoon, *Spotprent over de kunsthistoricus Abraham Bredius,* is a humorous take on the art world of the late 19th century. Created in 1893, it depicts a group of people, including the art historian Abraham Bredius, being “baptized” into the world of art. This witty and satirical portrayal of the art world exemplifies van Hoytema's talent for social commentary, making it a fascinating example of Dutch artistic and social discourse of the period.
