This black and white historical photograph, dated 1867, captures a posed group portrait of approximately 25 to 30 individuals, predominantly women, seated on the steps and ground of a traditional Javanese building. The central figure, identified by the accompanying text as the wife of Raden Mas Toemenggoeng Tjondronegoro (also known as Poerwolelono), the Regent of Kudus, is seated on a distinct chair in the front row, elevated above the others. All individuals are dressed in traditional Indonesian attire, including sarongs and kebayas or similar garments, with their hair typically pulled back. The scene is set outdoors or within an open-air pavilion (pendopo), with the dark, solid structure of a building forming the background. Visible environmental elements include a potted plant on the left foreground, a tall pole (possibly a flagpole) on the right, and a decorative urn or stand to its right. The image itself appears to be a framed display piece, exhibiting signs of light reflection and texture from a surrounding surface, consistent with being mounted in a museum or exhibition. The depicted event is associated with Kudus, Indonesia, while the physical display of this image is located in the city of Glantengan, Indonesia.
