"Portret van twee Indonesische mannen" is a black and white photograph taken by Woodbury & Page between 1857 and 1880. The image shows two Indonesian men, one seated and one standing, both formally dressed. The men are likely of high standing in society, as indicated by their clothing and posture. This photograph, created during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia, provides valuable insight into the visual culture and social hierarchy of the time. It is a testament to the skill of 19th-century photographers in capturing the nuances of human portraiture. The photograph, measuring 85mm x 52mm, likely would have been part of a larger album or collection of photographs.
