- Description
A swampy foreground with toitoi and flax, with the Petre house in the background, and probably the Western Hills behind. The swamp in the foreground may be Moreings Creek or part of the Hutt River. The house was in Petone.
Formerly attributed to William Swainson. However Mrs Sheila Natusch suggests that the chalk highlighting is typical of George Swainson's style.
Compare S. C. Brees' watercolour Petoni (B-031-002) which is taken from a similar angle, although from a greater distance. Brees states that his view looks south towards the harbour.
Quantity: 1 drawing(s).
