Genre/Subject Matter:
This full-length seated portrait shows three pilgrims from Pasuruan and Malang in eastern Java. They face forward on the ground, looking towards the camera, except for the man on the left, who faces slightly to his left and sits on a folding metal chair.
The man on the right is dressed in a pale shirt and batik sarong with a patterned turban and sandals. He holds a piece of paper in his left hand. The man at centre wears a mid-coloured double-breasted shirt buttoned to a high collar as well as a pale cloth about his legs over a checked sarong. On his head he wears a white close-fitting cap and a pale, fringed scarf over his left shoulder and sandals. The man on the left wears a batik sarong, a mid-coloured shirt and shawl, a pale-coloured turban and sandals.
