- Description
A single European house with fences standing at the foot of a cleared hill, with a bush-clad hill to its left, with the Kapotai Pa buildings amongst bush. Flat and rather marshy land in the foreground, with low scrub to the left. The view, despite its title, shows the scene without an attack happening and with no troops present, possibly because it is unfinished.
Compare the much more finished version of this scene by Cyprian Bridge, a watercolour with the same title, reference number A-079-004. Bridge's version shows redcoat soldiers and Maori and the pa being fired
