View of artillery exercises on Batavia
Rach, Johannes
View of the military exercises of the artillery on Batavia, carried out in a field on the Slingerland estate near the beach at Ancol.
When Rach painted this scene he was an officer of low rank.
Given the merry party of ladies and gentlemen drinking depicted below left, it appears that spectating at such exercises was a festive occasion.
