Dieng plateau te Midden-Java 1849 - 1895

Johannes Walter's "Dieng plateau te Midden-Java" is a landscape drawing, likely created between 1849 and 1895 during the artist's travels through Java. The artwork depicts a vast, grassy plain, with a mountain range rising in the background, capturing the serene and expansive nature of the Dieng Plateau. The drawing's delicate lines and tonal shifts create a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of Walter's style. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork provides a glimpse into the Dutch colonial era's fascination with the natural beauty of Indonesia.
