EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century pencil drawing, created by Dutch artist Jan Brandes, depicts a significant audience between the VOC (Dutch East India Company) delegation and King Sri Rajadi Raja Sinha of Kandy, the last truly independent monarch of Sri Lanka. The scene unfolds in the grand reception room of the king's palace, where VOC officials humbly kneel before the monarch, who sits regally on his throne. The king, dressed in royal attire, is adorned with jewels and holds a fan in his hand, exuding an aura of power and authority. The Dutch delegation, dressed in European attire, stands attentively, their posture conveying a sense of respect and submission. The intricately designed palace interiors, with blue and colorful decorations, add to the grandeur of the scene. This drawing is a testament to the complex political dynamics between European colonial powers and Asian monarchies during the 18th century. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka and the colonial era, and is an essential addition to any collection of Asian, European, or historical art.
