Painted in 1840, the work captures the domestic sphere of a nineteenth-century European family living in Java. The composition is structured around the matriarch, seated to the left, and her husband, who stands behind her. They are surrounded by their children, who are arranged in a balanced, formal manner across the interior space. A large dog occupies the centre of the foreground, acting as a bridge between the seated figures and the standing children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaleh, who spent many years in Europe, demonstrates a command of Western academic painting techniques. The interior is rendered with attention to the textures of the period, from the heavy, patterned wallpaper and the deep orange drapery to the crisp white fabrics of the children's clothing. A small piano and an open doorway leading to a sunlit garden provide depth to the scene, suggesting a comfortable, affluent lifestyle. The lighting is controlled, drawing the eye to the faces of the family members while maintaining a sense of quiet, domestic order. The inclusion of the family pet and the children's toys adds a layer of informality to the otherwise staged arrangement. This painting offers a glimpse into the social hierarchies and cultural exchanges present in the colonial Dutch East Indies during the mid-nineteenth century. Saleh’s ability to integrate his subjects into a cohesive, narrative-driven composition reflects his training in the European tradition of portraiture, while his precise handling of detail maintains a focus on the individual identities of the sitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/tul-lock-chish-ko-drinks-the-juice-of-the-stone-choctaw-george-catlin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTul-lock-chísh-ko, Drinks the Juice of the Stone (Choctaw) - George Catlin — George Catlin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/self-portrait-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait - George Stubbs — George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Raden Saleh","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58677911388495,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58677916959055,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58677916991823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58677917024591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58677917057359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58677917090127,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58677917122895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58677917155663,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58677917188431,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58677917221199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58677917253967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58677917286735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-mevrouw-W.J.S_Poster_CompositorV1_1788558678547.jpg?v=1788559396"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-jean-chretien-baud-raden-saleh","title":"Portrait of Jean Chrétien Baud - Raden Saleh","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal nineteenth-century portrait of Governor-General Jean Chrétien Baud, painted by the Indonesian artist Raden Saleh in a refined Romantic style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts Jean Chrétien Baud, who served as the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1833 to 1835.

During his extended period living in Germany, Saleh produced numerous studies of the local architecture and countryside.

The artist employs a light, precise touch to define the roof tiles, the chimney, and the surrounding vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaleh, a Javanese aristocrat who spent decades in Europe, is often associated with dramatic, large-scale oil paintings of animal hunts and storms. This sketch, however, reveals a different facet of his practice: a quiet, observational approach to the European rural environment. The composition is balanced, focusing on the relationship between the man-made structure and the encroaching natural elements. The lines are delicate, suggesting a quick study made on-site rather than a highly finished studio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy documenting the specific character of the Maxen bakery, Saleh demonstrates his engagement with the traditions of European topographical drawing.
