About the piece
Painted in 1830 by Nicolaas Pieneman, this work depicts the surrender of Prince Diponegoro, a central figure in the Java War. The composition highlights the dramatic contrast between the European military uniforms and traditional Javanese dress, set against the backdrop of a colonial residence under a clear, bright sky.
