This rare ethographical painting depicts genre scene in a domestic shop on island Java /Indonesia . It was executed in 1930 by  good listed Berlin painter and graphic artist Arnold Busch (1876 in Grünenplan - 1951 in Cismar) during his trip to Java. Arnold Busch was the father of the Hamburg illustrator Wilhelm Martin Busch (1908–1987). Due to his artistic talent, he studied art at the Dresden Academy and was a student of Carl Bantzer and Philipp Franck. He undertook study trips to Italy, Russia, France, Ceylon and India.

In 1901, he received a teaching position at the Royal Art and Trade School in Breslau, which awarded him the title of professor in 1912. In January 1915, he was assigned to the Army High Command as a war painter. He spent the following three years mainly on the Eastern Front in various staff quarters. In 1918, he bought a house in Falkenhain near Altheide-Bad. The house burned down completely in January 1945 (no connection with the war).He lived there with his family until 1946.

From 1937 to 1944, except in 1941, Busch was represented at all Great German Art Exhibitions in Munich with paintings that corresponded to Nazi artistic concepts. In 1938, Hitler acquired few military portraits in 1938-1939. In 1943, Busch showed a full-length portrait of Nazi military officer Ernst Busch. In 1944, Nazi leader Martin Bormann acquired the Portrait of My Son in Knight's Armor for 3,000 Reichsmarks.

After Germany's defeat in World War II, Busch was forced to leave his house in Falkenhain. He moved to Cismar, near the Baltic Sea resort of Grömitz on the coast of the Bay of Lübeck, where he died in 1951.

Busch painted primarily landscapes and portraits (e.g., Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff (1916) and Joseph Goebbels (1937)) and participated in numerous exhibitions in Breslau, Berlin, Hamburg, Dortmund, and Vienna. He was also a member of the Silesian Artists' Association until its dissolution in 1936.
