The title given by the family was Akaroa showing Mt Brasenose [Brazenose]. It has subsequently been identified as being from Mt Brazenose behind Akaroa and looking east into Le Bons Bay, rather than west or south into Akaroa Harbour Includes a ruled pencil line inside the edge of the sheet of paper, with watercolour edges of the work beyond the line. Dimensions inside the ruled line are 224 x 348 mm Other Titles - Akaroa showing Mr Brasenose [former title] Brazenose Inscriptions: Label with title Le Bons Bay, Akaroa, in the hand of the artist, kept with the watercolour Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
