Wayang dance scene

The person in the centre, a girl, stands bent forwards between the two other people sitting on the floor. She is wearing a headpiece, various jewellery and is spreading a scarf in front of the boy sitting on the floor. This boy on the left is also wearing a lot of jewellery, sitting cross-legged and looking straight into the camera. A kris can be seen behind his right shoulder. The girl on the right is shown in profile, wearing similar clothes and jewellery to the other two. A flower stand can be seen on the right edge of the picture, a column and a curtain on the left. This is presumably a production of Wayang Wong, in which the actors no longer wear masks and speak their roles themselves. 3 actors act out a theatre scene in the photo studio. They are the same people as in VIII 1214.
