"Beeld van een van de twee koningszonen in de Tempel Mendoet ten zuiden van Magelang, Nederlands-Indië" is a photographic print by Onnes Kurkdjian, an Armenian-Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century. The photograph, taken between 1895 and 1915, captures a stone sculpture of a king seated within the Mendoet temple in Magelang, Indonesia, a site associated with the ancient Javanese Hindu-Buddhist culture. Kurkdjian's work often captured the architecture and cultural artifacts of Indonesia, offering a glimpse into the country's rich history. This image, despite its monochrome format, showcases the intricate details of the sculpture and the surrounding temple architecture, highlighting Kurkdjian's keen eye for capturing the essence of his subjects.
