Raden Sudjono Abdullah (1911-1993) was born in Surakarta (Solo), Central Java. His father, Abdullah Suriosubroto (1878-1942), was a landscape artist and first trained him in romantic realism in the Barbizon school. He later studied art and graduated from Hollandsche-Inlandsche School.

Abdullah became famous for his genre scenes of Javanese life and culture, and romanticized landscapes around his home. A lone figure is seen in Market Place. The hustle and bustle of the day over. A magnificent flamboyant tree in the background extends upwards, with its umbrella-like canopy framing half the picture space keeps her company and provides shade.
