Tandak dance scene

2 people act out a theatre dance scene in the photo studio. The person on the left is wearing a headpiece, jewellery and a kris is pinned into her clothing at the back. Her right arm is outstretched and her fingers form a mudra. She is looking at the little boy sitting cross-legged on the floor opposite her. He is wearing a cap, a shirt with a waistcoat and trousers and is looking at the floor. A table leg and a piece of the table top can be seen on the left edge of the picture, as well as the end of a curtain. This is presumably a production of Wayang Wong, in which the actors no longer wear masks and speak their roles themselves.
