Rustend dansgezelschap bij een warong (warung), twee ruiters op de helling, Priangan, West-Java c. 1816 - 1846

"Rustend dansgezelschap bij een warong (warung), twee ruiters op de helling, Priangan, West-Java" is a pencil and watercolor drawing by Adrianus Johannes Bik, depicting a resting dance troupe near a warung (an Indonesian roadside stall) in the Priangan region of West Java. The work, dated circa 1816-1846, showcases Bik's keen eye for detail and his interest in capturing everyday life in colonial Indonesia. The composition features a palm tree, two riders on a slope, and a group of figures gathered around the warung. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle washes of color create a serene and atmospheric scene that transports viewers to the rural landscapes of Java. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
