- Description
Photograph of a watercolour (or possibly an ink and wash sketch) by G. F. von Tempsky. The location of the original watercolour is not known. Another copy of this photograph is held by descendants of the artist in Hawaii. Shows four soldiers and one Maori in the foreground, firing towards a Maori fortification on a hill in the background.
A letter from the artist to Thomas Russell, Minister for Colonial Defence on 11 February 1864 probably refers to this sketch. See G. F. von Tempsky, Artist and Adventurer, by Rose Young (Martinborough, 1981), p. 324 for further details. The sketch was done in the field, possibly with ink and wash.
