Kop van een wajangpop before 1942

This drawing by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created before 1942, depicts the head of a Javanese wayang puppet. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Stolk's fascination with Indonesian art, particularly the intricate details and symbolic significance of wayang puppets. The minimalist use of black and brown ink highlights the puppet's ornate headdress and expressive features, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of traditional Javanese shadow puppetry.
