On the verso is a schematic outline of the watercolour, with features named and 'Line of ascent, March 1, 2 & 3 1882' marked in front of Mount Tasman and pointing up Mount Cook. Green also mentions that the outline [and therefore probably the watercolour] is taken from a photograph taken at the time.
