Eiso Bergsma in tropenkleding en Gerda Bergsma in lang gewaad zittend aan eettafel in woonhuis op Sumatra, de kat op tafel 1914 - 1926

This black and white photograph, taken between 1914 and 1926 by an anonymous artist, depicts Eiso and Gerda Bergsma, a Dutch couple, sitting at a table in their home in Sumatra, Indonesia. The couple is dressed in traditional clothing, and a cat sits on the table. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of Dutch colonists in the early 20th century and provides a unique visual record of their daily routines. The photograph's small size (97 mm x 143 mm) suggests it may have been a personal snapshot or part of a larger collection of family photos. The Rijksmuseum holds this image, showcasing the lives of Dutch people living abroad.
