Twee jongetjes, een in traditionele Javaanse kleding, een zittend in een stoel in een wit shirt met een wit hoedje. c. 1914

"Twee jongetjes" is a sepia-toned photograph by Dutch photographer Frits Freerks Fontein Fz., taken around 1914. The image portrays two young boys, one dressed in traditional Javanese clothing and the other in a white shirt and hat, seated on a bench. The photograph is likely a snapshot of daily life in Java during the colonial period, highlighting the cultural diversity of the Dutch East Indies. It captures a moment of quietude and the contrasting styles of dress reflect the social realities of the time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the photographic practices of the early 20th century and the personal narratives that can be found in seemingly ordinary images.
