Description: Reconstruction of the death of Marion Du Fresne in the Bay of Islands in 1772. Shows part of a pa, with a store-house (pataka) and fence. A group of implements and European objects is in the foreground, including a three-cornered hat and a sword. A cabbage tree and flax plants can be seen in the foreground. Marion du Fresne is surrounded by a number of Maori, with others looking on from the pataka. He is distracted by one of the Maori men offering him what looks like a bird, while another Maori stands behind him, about to strike him with a club. A Maori woman is walking off to the left with another French sailor, and a Pakeha youth, probably one of the ship's crew, looks on in horror.
