- Description
A tent and a group of four men, three Pakeha, one Maori, seated on the ground, having a picnic in a clearing in bush, hills beyond them and water below them. One of the men, seated with his back resting on a tree-trunk, is either drawing or making notes; one, possibly William Cotton, with spectacles, seated on the left is handing out food from a plate; one is reclining on the ground, the fourth, a Maori student, is seated and is being passed food
The four men are likely to be students and /or teachers at St John's theological College, Purewa, Auckland. The man wearing glasses and facing the viewer may be William Charles Cotton, while the man showing sketching may be a self-portrait. The location of Potato Bay is not known, but is likely to be in Auckland, possibly near Meadowbank, where Hutton and Cotton were teaching.
T. B. Hutton arrived in New Zealand in 1843 and taught at St John's College at Waimate in the Bay of Islands until 1844 when he moved to Auckland.
