This striking posthumous portrait of Herman Willem Daendels, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, presents a commanding late-colonial likeness poised within a sweeping landscape. Painted in 1838 by Raden Sarief Bastaman Saleh in oil on canvas, the half-length figure holds a telescope in his right hand while his left rests on a map of Megamemdoeng showing the Postweg; the route is echoed in the distant terrain. Part of a distinguished series of governors-general portraits, its rich brushwork and formal presence make it a compelling focal point. Ideal for collectors or anyone who appreciates historic narrative and refined 19th-century technique.
