About the piece
Painted in 1836 by Raden Saleh, this stately portrait depicts Johannes Graaf van den Bosch in his official capacity. The work captures fine details of his military uniform, including gold-fringed epaulettes and prestigious medals, set against a sophisticated backdrop featuring a classical marble bust and a distant mountainous landscape.
