Funzionari della corte giavanese — Storia e analisi

Queste cinque figure sono rappresentanti dell'élite giavanese. I vestiti e i motivi batik accuratamente rappresentati segnalano da dove provengono e quale sia il loro rango e status. La conoscenza della loro etichetta e del loro aspetto era di grande importanza politica per l'amministrazione coloniale.

L'élite giavanese fu sempre più impiegata per controllare e sfruttare la colonia nella prima metà del XIX secolo.
