EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Magelang, Java in 1898. The woman featured in this portrait is none other than a Javanese beauty, caught in a moment of quiet contemplation as she indulges in chewing tobacco. With her elegant profile turned slightly towards the camera, she carries herself with grace and poise. In one hand, she holds a delicate parasol that shields her from the scorching sun, while cradling a chicken effortlessly in the other. This juxtaposition of nature and human connection adds an intriguing layer to the composition. The artist behind this mesmerizing piece is Christian Wilhelm Allers, known for his remarkable ability to capture cultural nuances through his illustrations. This particular image comes from his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he masterfully combines written narratives with his exquisite artwork. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported to another time and place - a glimpse into life during the 19th century on Java island. The intricate details of her traditional dress and accessories serve as reminders of both historical significance and artistic brilliance. This print serves as a testament to Allers' talent for immortalizing moments that transcend time; it invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its cultural significance within our shared heritage.
