Shows a waka with four figures and a dog in it, floating on water close to the near shore on which flax bushes are growing. There are two pukeko in the centre foreground. On a promontory or island in the lake or inlet, there is a group of whare, with smoke from a cooking fire rising. Beyond are hills, with the distant range tinged pink in the morning or evening light.
Location unknown. The promontory may be an island, and could possibly be around Lake Rotomahana or Tarawera. The landforms are very similar to a view 'Puai Island and Otukapuarangi, Lake Rotomahana' by J G Mitford, a watercolour owned by Rotorua Museum
