Barraud, Charles Decimus, 1822-1897 :[Mt Earnslaw and Lake Wakatipu]. 1874

A view of Lake Wakatipu on a calm day, with a snow-laden Mount Earnslaw rising in the distance, shrouded in some low cloud. In the foreground are three horesemen, their horses and a dog. One man sits astride his horse; the second sits on a rock beside his horse; and the third man bends to make a fire. The dog lies resting on its side. A tiny train of steam indicates a steam boat on the lake in the distance

The Library also holds two copies of a colour photolithograph of the same scene, at C-117-019, from International Art Centre in 1982. Barraud also painted other scenes of both Lake Wakatipu and Mount Earnslaw, some held by the Library
