Aubrey, Christopher, fl 1868-1906 :Eketahuna Hotel. 1891.

Shows a scene outside the wooden two-storeyed hotel building, with a coach drawn by four horses standing at the left and several passengers with luggage outside the front of the hotel. In the centre a man leads a pack horse. At the right of the hotel, two aproned maids stand with two men; one of the maids is working a waterpump. The stables building at the rear has a sign "Stables". Two swagmen approach the hotel at the far right foreground.

This hotel is depicted from another angle in other views of Eketahuna by Aubrey - eg. C-030-011, C-030-026, and C-030-027.

An inscription on the reverse suggest that this work was originally sold as part of an art union: 'Mr Parsons picture, 15/-. Two tickets 5/-'. The artist was known to sell a number of his watercolours through art unions, often advertised in the local newspaper
