Identification: the title, meaning a man of Easter Island is mistaken. The man's head is derived from an engraving by William Hodges (from Cook's 2nd circumnavigation) 'Man of New Zealand' showing a chief of the Pourere, southern Hawkes Bay area, published 1777; the man's body, tattooing, clothing and weapons are a rough copy of Hodges' 1777 engraving, 'Family in Dusky Bay'. The woman and baby on the left of the view are also derived from 'Family in Dusky Bay'
