This detailed pen and ink drawing by Johannes Rach, titled "Het Gezigt van Indramago Boven Beuijtenzorg Binen op t' Pleijn, met desselfs Speelheuijs, Water Fonteijne en Bruggen," depicts a panoramic view of the Indramago palace in Beuitenzorg (present-day Bogor, Indonesia) in 1770. The drawing showcases the palace grounds with its distinctive pavilion, water features, and surrounding landscape. The work provides a glimpse into the architectural and landscape design of the Dutch East India Company's (VOC) colonial outpost, highlighting its architectural influences and the presence of native Indonesian people within the colonial context. The meticulous details, including the figures in the scene and the surrounding vegetation, showcase Rach's skill in capturing the essence of the colonial world.
