Rach, Johannes

View of Mr Hillegers' garden on the way to Post de Ketting near Batavia.

This is probably the only image to show Johannes Rach himself. He and his assistant are standing a little to the left of centre next to a man with parasol (pajong).

To the right of centre are several boys playing football.

Landscaped bushes and trees are depicted in the background; in the garden a statue.
