"Javaanse vorst met twee volgelingen" (c. 1854-1856) by Carl Wilhelm Mieling depicts a Javanese prince seated with two attendants. The prince wears ornate clothing and a turban, while his followers are kneeling and holding objects. This lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the 19th-century European fascination with exotic cultures. Mieling's detailed portrayal offers a glimpse into Javanese courtly life and underscores the artistic interest in documenting diverse societies.
