Schets voor karikatuur van kamerlid J.H. Donner 1886

This 1886 pencil sketch by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans is a caricature of Dutch politician J.H. Donner. The artwork, with its exaggerated features and simple lines, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of a person's character through visual means. Donner is depicted in a standing position, with his head disproportionately large in relation to his body, a common feature of caricatures. The overall style of the piece is illustrative, and the artist's ability to portray Donner's personality with a touch of humor is evident. The sketch, although a simple one, remains a valuable piece of art that showcases the artist's talent for capturing the likeness of individuals.
