Grafbord van Theodora Hendrica Piekenbroek (1746-70), echtgenote van Boudewijn Versewel Faure after 1770

This anonymous Dutch "Grafbord" (tombstone) from after 1770 commemorates Theodora Hendrica Piekenbroek, the wife of Boudewijn Versewel Faure. The inscription details her life, including her roles as "Huys Vrouw" (housewife), her husband's titles, and her death in Batavia, Indonesia (formerly known as Bengalen). The tombstone features a painted coat of arms in the center and is framed in a diamond-shaped form, a common design for Dutch funerary monuments. This piece offers insight into the life of a wealthy Dutch woman in the 18th century and provides a glimpse into the history of Dutch colonial expansion.
