- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This full-length seated portrait shows four pilgrims from the Ternate Sultanate, an island in the Maluku Islands that is part of latter-day Indonesia. The men face forward, looking towards the camera. The two at centre are seated while the other two squat either side of their chairs.
The man on the right wears a white jacket and sarong over a button-up waistcoat, a white turban and a ring on the little finger of his right hand. The man right of centre wears a white jacket over a printed or embroidered button-up waistcoat, white sarong, trousers and turban, leather shoes and a ring on the little finger of his right hand. The man left of centre wears a white thawb under a printed or embroidered button-up waistcoat (identical to the man on his left), sandals, white trousers and turban, and a ring on the little finger of his right hand. He holds a handkerchief in his left hand. The man on the left wears black trousers a white shirt and printed turban.
The men are photographed in a courtyard-like space with plants – some in wide wooden pots – foliage and a window, fronted by bars, visible in the background.
The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded paint-like quality in places.
