Hoyte, John Barr Clark, 1835-1913 :Lake Horowhenua, Wellington, N.Z. [ca 1866?]

Description: Shows eel traps and two whares in the foreground at the lake's edge at a river mouth. Three Maori are standing and seated in front of the buildings and there is a small canoe in the water and a European yacht in the distance. Bush and tall trees surround the water's edge and the Tararuas can be seen in the background. Hoyte made more than one copy of this view. An almost identical one sold in New Zealand in 1995, possibly the watercolour held by Auckland Art Gallery. An article in the Daily Southern Cross of 18 January 1866 refers to a number of Hoyte's watercolours including 'a picture of Horowhenua Lake, in Wellington, from a pencil drawing by Mr W. Fox'. Hoyte is not known to have visited Horowhenua and all of his known views of Horowhenua Lake may derive from William Fox's pencil drawing. The William Fox watercolour seems likely to be one held by the Sarjeant Gallery, Whanganui, Horowhenua Lake, c1850s, watercolour on paper, gift of Mr Cranleigh Barton, 1977. Other Titles - William Fox Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - J. C. Hoyte [in Chinese white] Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour & Chinese white, 272 x 415 mm
