Gezicht op een plein met dansers op Java 1843 - 1845

"Gezicht op een plein met dansers op Java" (View of a square with dancers on Java), created between 1843 and 1845 by Paulus Lauters, is a black and white lithograph depicting a lively scene in a Javanese village. The artwork features a group of people dancing in the center of the square, surrounded by traditional houses with thatched roofs. The scene is framed by lush palm trees and a cloudy sky, creating a sense of tropical tranquility. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable document of Javanese life in the mid-19th century and provides insight into the artistic techniques and cultural interests of the Dutch artist Lauters.
