Defaced Wilhelmina painting in Gouda

There are some items from Dutch East Indies associated with queen Wilhelmina exhibited in Gouda museum till may 2024 . This one was a painting of queen Wilhelmina that was defaced by the Indonesian nationalist in the 60s.

(The Indonesians these days don’t really hate Dutch people anymore though)
