Portrait of John Atkinson, husband of Elizabeth Atkinson, nee Smith, and father of the six Atkinson children who settled in New Zealand in the 1840s and 1850s
Attribution: there is some possibility that this portrait and the companion portrait of Elizabeth Atkinson (D-022-001) are the work of James Crowe Richmond. They could have been drawn as late as 1845, after Richmond became acquainted with John Staines Atkinson and the rest of the Atkinson family
John Atkinson was an English architect, builder and stonemason, who retired to Frindsbury in Kent. His wife was Elizabeth Atkinson, nee Smith. He never came to New Zealand, but six of his children settled in New Zealand, including Premier Harry Atkinson. He was referred to as "The Governor" by his family.
