- Description
An autumnal river view with two men on horseback on the left bank at the water's edge. Cattle can be seen on the right bank, which is substantially higher. The Rimutaka mountains can be seen in the distance. Toetoe bushes feature prominently in the foreground
Dunbar Sloane catalogue shows title as 'Surveyors crossing the Waikato River'; however, given Barraud's whereabouts at the time the watercolour was painted, it is more likely to be the Hutt River. There is also no evidence that the men are surveyors
