Portret van een onbekende man uit Nederlands-Indië in hofkostuum 1827 - 1904

This anonymous portrait, dated between 1827 and 1904, depicts an unidentified man from the Dutch East Indies. The subject is seated in a chair, formally dressed in a court costume, with his hand resting on his knee. His posture and attire reflect the social standing of the time, offering a glimpse into the colonial society of the Dutch East Indies during the 19th century. Currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork is a visual testament to an era marked by colonial rule and the complex social hierarchies that defined it.
