EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portrait daughter Orang Kaya village chief Af" takes us back in time to the enchanting island of Workai in the Aru islands, Southeast Moluccas. The image, captured by Ernest Alfred Hardouin between 1837 and 1854, showcases a mesmerizing portrait of a young girl belonging to the esteemed Orang Kaya family. The girl's delicate features are beautifully highlighted through the medium of pencil and watercolor on paper. Her eyes exude an innocent curiosity while her expression carries hints of wisdom beyond her years. Dressed in traditional attire, she embodies the rich cultural heritage of her community. The significance of this portrait lies not only in its artistic finesse but also in its historical context. As the daughter of a village chief from Af (f) macaw, she represents both strength and grace within her society. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the lives and traditions that have shaped generations on this remote island. Hardouin's meticulous brushstrokes bring out every intricate detail, capturing not just an individual but an entire world within this small frame measuring 266 mm by 144 mm. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate its intrinsic value as a window into history rather than focusing solely on any potential commercial use it may hold.
