Interieur woonhuis in Bandung 1935

"Interieur woonhuis in Bandung" (1935) by Elsa Silberstein is a small-scale artwork (104 x 63 mm) on paper, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work is a handwritten inscription on a piece of paper, likely the back of a photograph, which reads "ter herinnering aan een mooie behuizing-een wonderbaar gelukkig tijd Gebriestraat 25. XII. 1935." This inscription suggests the image may be a photo of the artist's home in Bandung, Indonesia, where she resided during the Dutch colonial period. The inscription offers a personal glimpse into Silberstein's life and provides valuable insight into her artistic practice, which focused on capturing everyday scenes of daily life in colonial Indonesia.
