Pencil sketch of Diponegoro by AJ. Bik in the Batavia Stadhuis, late April 1830. It shows him dressed in the ‘priestly’ garments which he wore during the Java War, namely a turban, an open-necked kabaya (cotton shirt), and a jubah (loose outer robe). A sash hangs over his right shoulder and his pusaka kris (heirloom dagger), Kanjeng Kiai Bondoyudo (His Highness Sir Duelling Without Weapons), is stuck in his flowered silk waist band. The slightly sunken cheeks, which accentuate the prince’s high cheek bones, were the result of successive bouts of tropical malaria from which he had been suffering since his 1 November 1829-9 February 1830 wanderings in the jungles of Bagelen and Banyumas at the end of the war.

Although this positive image shifted radically when it came to matters of religion, with Knoerle characterizing the prince as a ‘bigot who considers his religious principles as the highest and loftiest on earth and who would like to erect his religious edifice on the ruins of all other systems’ (Knoerle 1835:171), his creative intelligence and enterprise is still the main takeaway from the Prussian officer’s conversations. This intelligence can be seen in Diponegoro’s justific- ation for his consumption of his favourite sweet white wine from the world- renowned Constantia vineyard in South Africa. Despite the fact that alcohol was discouraged, if not outright forbidden, in the teachings of the Prophet,“
