- Description
Shows a substantial two-storied brick and plaster building with a turret. There are also smaller cottages and a cannon, a woman dressed in white, with a small white parasol, seated centre foreground. The trees depicted include a willow tree and a Norfolk Pine. Possibly an Australian scene painted prior to Green's arrival in New Zealand
Previously described as possibly an Auckland or Waikato scene (where most New Zealand redoubts were located). However the distinctive large building shown is not known as a nineteenth century New Zealand building. Most likely to be New South Wales or Tasmania. Green was in Australia from 1858 to 1861, when he came to New Zealand
