EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal beauty of Naba-Leba, Queen of the Island of Solor, near Timor. Taken from plate 25 of the renowned Voyage of Discovery to Australian Lands, this coloured engraving by B. Roger captures the essence and allure of this powerful queen. Naba-Leba's traditional dress is a testament to her rich cultural heritage. Adorned in an exquisite headdress and intricate costume, she exudes grace and elegance. Her half-length portrait allows us to appreciate every detail - from the delicate embroidery on her attire to the ornate jewelry that adorns her neck. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into Southeast Asian history and exploration. It serves as a reminder of the brave expeditions undertaken by explorers who ventured into uncharted territories like Indonesia. Displayed in a private collection, this print holds immense historical significance. It not only celebrates Naba-Leba's royal status but also highlights the diversity and beauty found within Indonesian culture. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of how art can bridge gaps between different cultures and eras. The work by Petit beautifully immortalizes Naba-Leba's legacy for generations to come – an everlasting tribute to her reign as Queen of Solor near Timor.
