About the piece
This dignified 1840 portrait by Friedrich Carl Albert Schreuel captures the pioneering Javanese painter Raden Saleh in a moment of professional poise. Depicted in his studio holding a palette and brushes, Saleh is shown as a master of his craft, positioned before a framed seascape that highlights the maritime themes often found in his own work.
