- Description
A standing male, with a canoe behind him. He has a head-dress of feathers attached to a coronet shaped headband and a skirt of leaves or feathers. In his left hand he holds a staff with a net on the end. In his left hand he holds a woven basket. His ears are elongated with large holes in their lobes. The canoe has three upright objects at its prow and has a mast and woven sail. The portrait is derived from William Hodges' engraving 'Man of Easter Island'
Based on at least one engraving after William Hodges from James Cook's 2nd circumnavigation, 'Man of Easter Islands' from Cook, James. A voyage towards the South Pole. (London, Strahan, 1777) Pl 46. The engraving is a head and shoulders portrait only, but shows the distinctive headdress and elongated earlobes seen here. The man, although Polynesian, is not Maori. The artist's source for the canoe in the background is not known.
