"Landschap met rijstvelden in aanleg (boven) en gezicht op Tongging (onder) op Sumatra" is a photographic work by Carl J. Kleingrothe, a German artist who worked in Indonesia. Created before 1898, the work is a panoramic view of the landscape of Sumatra, featuring two scenes. The top panel depicts rice fields in a mountainous region, with a body of water in the distance. The lower panel offers a view of Tongging, a village located on the slopes of a mountain overlooking a lake. Kleingrothe's work is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Indonesian landscape, capturing both the natural beauty and the human impact on the environment. This image, now held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the Indonesian landscape and the work of this early photographer.
