EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Nyai, Ruler of Bali, 1780" transports us back to the majestic world of 18th-century Indonesia. Created by Pierre Duflos (1742-1816), this artwork showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that bring Nyai's regal presence to life. In this full-length portrait, Nyai stands tall with an air of authority and grace. His traditional attire is adorned with feathers and a headdress that symbolize his status as a ruler. The bearded figure exudes wisdom and power, while his piercing gaze hints at the strength within him. The artist skillfully captures every element of Nyai's ensemble – from the rifle slung over his shoulder to the quiver filled with arrows at his side. These symbols reflect not only his role as a leader but also highlight the historical context of Southeast Asia during this period. Duflos' attention to detail extends beyond Nyai himself; even in the background, we see lush foliage that evokes Bali's natural beauty. This illustration was originally published in Paris in 1780 as part of Recueil d'estampes représentant les grades, les rangs et les dignités suivant le costume de toutes les nations existantes. . . As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection today, let it serve as a reminder of both Bali's rich cultural heritage and its long history of distinguished rulers like Nyai.
