Portret van twee jongens, vermoedelijk in Nederlands-Indië 1850 - 1900

This carte de visite, a popular photographic format in the 19th century, captures a portrait of two young men, likely taken in the Dutch East Indies between 1850 and 1900. The photograph, attributed to A.C. Weijens, features the subjects standing beside a decorative object, possibly a pillar or furniture. Their attire, with traditional headwear and clothing, suggests their connection to the local culture. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of individuals in a colonial context, reflecting the intersection of European photographic practices and indigenous customs in the Dutch East Indies.
