Oorlogsfilosoof before 1918

This satirical cartoon, titled "Oorlogs-Filosoof" (War Philosopher), by Dutch artist Willy Sluiter, depicts a man in a suit, drinking a beer, and holding his head in his hand. The caricature highlights the absurdity of war, with the man's exaggerated features and weary expression suggesting that he's struggling to make sense of the conflict. This humorous portrayal of a serious topic was a common theme in Sluiter's work, which often criticized social and political issues. The drawing was published in the Dutch newspaper "De Nieuwe Amsterdammer" before 1918, during World War I. This work, now held by the Rijksmuseum, serves as a reminder of the impact of war and the power of satire.
