- Description
Portrait of a Maori woman with straight hair cut in a fringe. She has moko on her lips and chin and a tiki at her neck. Part of a pa or kainga is visible in the background
Date conjectured from similar portrait of Erena by Robley, dated 1864, in possession of M. Seifert. April 1979.
Compare A-080-034, another copy of the same portrait, titled, Erena of Maketu, Arawa. Maketu is near Whakatane, Bay of Plenty, and Arawa is a reference to Erena's tribe. Compare also Richard Laishley's pencil drawing Erana (Ellen) wife of Haora Tapaea, Tauranga, 1885 (A-114-013). Robley may have copied Laishley's drawing
