Prince Diepo Negoro was the most important Javanese leader in the Javanese War (1825-1830). Although the Dutch had promised him safe-conduct, he was arrested during peace negotiations. Pieneman highlighted this moment from a Dutch perspective. He did not show the betrayal, but Diepo Negoro who 'submits' himself to the Dutch authorities and says goodbye to his defeated followers. On the platform are the self-confident Dutch commanders. The Dutch tricolour flies in top.
