Må man se det?
Amsterdam, Holland
Ejeren er kendt. Om det er udstillet i dag, siger museet ikke, og at gætte har vi ikke lært.
This drawing bears rare visual witness to the atrocities committed by the troops under Dutch command during the Java War (1825-1830). Probably drawn by a Dutch officer, the sketch depicts a Javanese village with a Dutch fort. Visible on pikes in the foreground are eight ‘severed heads of mutineers,’ as described in the caption.
