- Description
Shows cleared bush with a cottage, outbuildings, fences and cows, and a horse, beside the Rai River, Marlborough. The house has two circular plant beds in front of it, and what appears to be a vegetable garden behind.
Artist unknown, but possibly the work of surveyor Henry Handyside (1831-1877); this on account of the treatment of tree foliage, and reflections in water, when compared with file prints of other work by Handyside.
According to the vendor, the original homestead is now demolished, but the site is on an existing farm a few miles towards French Pass from Rai Valley township. (Letter from vendor at AT 10/14, 11 Dec 1996).
