The image, rotated 90 degrees clockwise, displays a weathered stone monument with Dutch inscriptions, prominently set against a light brown brick wall. The scene is bathed in bright daylight, with lush green palm fronds and visible tree trunks framing the monument on the top, left, and bottom. A black metal fence runs vertically along the right edge of the frame, beyond which a strip of green grass and earth can be seen. The detailed inscription on the monument describes how this location in West Jakarta, Indonesia, was once the site of the "Old Dutch Church or Kruiskerk" from 1640 to 1732, followed by the "New Dutch Church" from 1736 to 1808. It states that these churches and the adjacent Dutch cemetery served as the final resting place for "Jan Pieterszoon Coen," the founder of Batavia, who died in 1634. Additionally, 18 mentioned Governor-Generals, numerous high-ranking company officials, and their family members were interred here, as indicated by the text.
