Legereenheid in de rijstvelden van Java 1835

"Legereenheid in de rijstvelden van Java" (1835) by Wilhelmus van Groenewoud depicts a Dutch military encampment in the rice fields of Java. The scene features a group of soldiers in formation, with horses and cannons, under the watchful gaze of palm trees. Van Groenewoud was a Dutch painter and lithographer known for his depictions of colonial life in the Dutch East Indies. This lithograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of military presence and colonial power in the region, offering a glimpse into the Dutch presence in 19th-century Java.
