Heaphy, Charles 1820-1881 :From Mrs Churton's verandah Auckland [1855?]

A view from inside a verandah with creepers winding up supports and across the top, looking down towards a garden and road, and across the harbour towards North Head, with the outline of Rangitoto Island in the distance on the right. North Head's signal station is included

The reference to 'Mrs Churton' suggests the drawing was done after the death of Rev J F Churton in 1853. Mrs Mary Churton was the artist's mother-in-law, mother of his wife Catherine Churton. The family lived in St George's Bay
