Fonctionnaires de la cour javanaise — Histoire et analyse

Ces cinq figures représentent l'élite javanaise. Les vêtements et motifs batik représentés avec précision signalent leur origine ainsi que leur rang et statut. La connaissance de leur étiquette et de leur apparence revêtait une grande importance politique pour l'administration coloniale.

L'élite javanaise a été de plus en plus mobilisée pour contrôler et exploiter la colonie au cours de la première moitié du XIXe siècle.
