Rekenkamer en minister 1920 - 1930

Patricq Kroon's satirical cartoon "Rekenkamer en minister" depicts a humorous scene of political critique. Created between 1920 and 1930, the artwork is a black and white drawing with a focus on caricature. The piece, likely a commentary on Dutch politics, utilizes exaggeration to highlight government inefficiency and potential corruption. The "Rekenkamer" is shown in a caricatured fashion as a symbol of oversight, while a minister holds a document highlighting the "ministers' wasteful spending." This caricature, like many of Kroon’s works, uses humor to expose societal problems, inviting viewers to consider these issues through a satirical lens.
