Description: Maori group beside European military tents at river mouth, with samll bridge and trees, with ships in harbour in background. Two rowboats moored at rivermouth Attributed by the previous owner to Charles Heaphy, showing early site of Auckland and painted about the time of the Northland wars. However, the style of the work is not like Heaphy's, and Heaphy was not in Auckland in 1844. The background harbour does appear to be Waitemata Harbour, Auckland, and the work with a Heaphy-related provenance may be by a member of the Churton family. It may date from the 1860s, rather then the 1840s Inscriptions: Verso - label and other inscriptions written by seller of this work, describing it as by Charles Heaphy, showing the early site of Auckland and painted about 1844. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, with Chinese white, ink and gum arabic over pencil 109 x 198 mm on card 182 x 274 mm Provenance: By descent from Churton family, with other material connected with Charles Heaphy. (Heaphy's wife was Kate Churton)
