The image shows a brass plaque embedded in a cobblestone ground. The plaque is inscribed with text in both Indonesian and English. The Indonesian text on the top half of the plaque reads: "MUSEUM SEJARAH JAKARTA JAKARTA HISTORICAL MUSEUM". It then continues with information about the museum being known since 1974 as VOC, formerly Balai Kota Batavia, or Stadthuiss, built on January 23, 1707. It mentions Governor-General Joan van Hoorn and Architect Van Riebeeck, and that the building was influenced by Amsterdam architecture and built over a hundred years ago. The English text below reads: "This place has been known as Museum Fatahllah since 1974. In the period of VOC, this historical building was formerly Batavia's City Hall or Stadthuiss. The construction for the third time on January 23rd, 1707. Governor General Joan Van Hoorn had started the architecture was influenced by Amsterdam. Van was built one hundred years." In the foreground, two feet wearing black sneakers and khaki pants are positioned on the cobblestone, partially obscuring the lower part of the plaque. The lighting suggests it is nighttime or a dimly lit area, with the brass plaque reflecting light. The cobblestone ground is typical of historical city centers. The overall scene is an informative snapshot of a historical landmark.
