Een opperkoopman van de VOC met zijn vrouw en een tot slaaf gemaakte bediende
The figure standing on the left is a Dutch East India Company (VOC) merchant, probably Jakob Martensen, beside his wife. Behind them is an enslaved man holding a parasol, a pajong, over their heads. This was a status symbol in Javanese culture. Batavia Castle is visible in the background. To the right, the Company fleet rides at anchor, ready to return to the Netherlands. The merchant points to the ships with his stick, indicating his involvement.
