Coconut Garden with Arrack pot still Paul Hermann(c.1700)
මෙන්න වර්ෂ 1700 පමණ ලංකාවේ අරක්කු නිෂ්පාදනය කරපු විදිය ගැන Paul Hermann මහතා අදිනු ලබන චිත්රයක්.
this painting shows a coconut plantation with a still for making arrack out of toddy, which would have been primarily drunk at schaggerijen or small inns outside the cities and forts. Note the details, such as the merry party drinking and smoking in the centre of the image. Wagenaar says this is a very rare depiction of Dutch Burgher enterprise with the Burghers themselves in a festive mood and wearing their hats (only Europeans and Burghers and other Christians were allowed to wear hats).
