Standing full-length portrait of a Māori-Pākehā boy, probably the son of a whaler. The child holds a peaked cap in his left hand.
The associated text for this image mentions that Harry Bluff is probably the son of a whaler and that he spends much time with his grandfather, Pokene. 'Harry, I fear is receiving but an indifferent education, going about with a doting old grandfather, Pokene, and has already learnt to play cards and smoke a pipe, while his interesting manners and appearance obtain many a sixpence, which is shared between them. Pokene was formerly a person of some consequence.'
