- Description
Head and shoulders profile portrait of Te Rangihaeata, a peacock feather in his top-knot, an albatross feather ear adornment and a fine flax cloak.
One of a series of portraits of at least twenty Maori men and women done by Nelson artist Isaac Coates. Rangihaeata & Rauparaha, with their wives and whanau, visited Nelson in March 1843, the likely date of this portrait. The artist made various watercolour copies of this portrait, but this appears to be an earlier version than the one held in the Library's collection at A-286-014 and the one in the Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachussets. There is a (probably) still earlier version in the Bett Collection, Nelson Provincial Museum.
