This photograph shows a nyonya and baba, who are both seated and surrounded by five children. Photographs were sometimes painted, usually by an artist who first applied Chinese ink or oil paint to the negative before further working on the print. With the advent of colour negative film in the 1950s, hand-tinted photographs fell out of vogue.
