The young woman in this studio portrait wears an elaborate festival costume and may well be a dancer. Her carefully poised hands are held out to reveal the detailed designs of a batik cloth worn over the chequered pattern of her dress. Her calm, graceful pose emphases the traditional qualities of Javanese dance, dress and feminine beauty.
