"Gezicht op een huis met een Nederlandse vlag en vijver tegen een berg, West-Java" (View of a house with a Dutch flag and a pond against a mountain, West Java) is a watercolor painting created by Adrianus Johannes Bik, a Dutch artist active in the 19th century. The painting captures a serene landscape in West Java, Indonesia, depicting a house with a Dutch flag flying proudly in front, a pond reflecting the sky and surrounding greenery, and a mountain range in the background. This artwork offers a glimpse into the Dutch colonial presence in Indonesia, highlighting the architectural and natural beauty of the region. The soft, delicate brushstrokes and realistic depiction of the scene are characteristic of Bik's artistic style. The painting is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
