Rach has depicted the court of King Demang Jawitara during the visit by governor general Van der Parra in 1772.

Behind the building a ship lies at anchor, flying four Dutch flags in honour of the visit. Demang Jawitara commissioned the ship to be built as a memorial to his 12 years of banishment to the Cape of Good Hope. This was ordered by the VOC, but the reason why is unclear.
