Josephine Linggar is one of the few Indonesian woman painters who have
interest in the depicting the human side of things, which is supported
by her talent and ability in depicting the human anatomy, human
character, and human expression. Born in Jember, East Java, Josephine
was known as a fashion designer, and this is perhaps why she seems to
have placed a special attention on the depiction of the figure of the
woman. She also has the sensibility in capturing the suitable postures
and gestures, which convey the story of the painting. In the painting
"Golden Lady" a women awaits someone in front of the temple. Her face
was full of hope, while the frangipani flowers seem to comfort her.
