Description: A caricature-style portrait of the civil engineer and forestry administrator, probably in his 50s. His face and features are quite complete; his body and the rest of the picture appear sketchier. He is shown wrapped around the top of a pine tree, wearing a suit and bow tie (an attire for which he was well-known), and holding a pair of binoculars. Below him are more pine trees and a logging shed, where figures are busy cutting and logging trees. The shed has the name 'Murapa' (i.e. Murupara) sketched on it, referring to the Murupara forestry scheme, which became the Tasman Pulp and Paper Company, of which Entrican was a foundation director in 1952 A descendant of the collection's donor suggested that the artist might be Peter McIntyre (1910-1995); artist confirmed as being Peter McIntyre, August 2016.
