Gezicht op Tondano, Noord-Celebes c. 1821 - 1824

"Gezicht op Tondano, Noord-Celebes" is a pencil drawing by Adrianus Johannes Bik, depicting a view of Tondano, a town in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, which is a part of the Dutch East Indies. The drawing, dated c. 1821-1824, shows a cluster of traditional Indonesian houses and a few palm trees, rendered in a delicate and precise style, typical of Bik's work. This artwork is a valuable document of the architecture and landscape of Tondano during the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the colonial era in Southeast Asia. The drawing is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
