"Rustplaats aan de westelijke voet van de Ejer [Malapi: zijn geboorte], Oost-Java" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Adrianus Johannes Bik from possibly 1821. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a resting place in the East Javanese landscape, with a small hut and figures in the foreground. The delicate lines and detailed observation of the surrounding flora create a serene and intimate portrayal of a specific location. The piece is a valuable insight into Dutch colonial expeditions in Indonesia during the 19th century.
