By: Goldsmith, D, active 1900

Reference: G-291

Description: Shows a group of whare beside a river. Possibly an imaginary scene Identification: on acquisition, this view was believed to be possibly a scene in the Hutt Valley, because of its provenance (in the owneship of the Columban Fathers, Lower Hutt). However other work signed D Goldsmith is dated around the early 20th century, (including one oil framed using newspapers dated 1911) and there were no whare like this on the banks of the Hutt River in the early twentieth century. It may be an imaginary scene, or could show the upper reaches of the Whanganui River or the Rotorua area. Another oil offered to the Library by the same vendors showed Thompson Sound, indicating that the collection of works of art was not confined to the Hutt Valley Other Titles - Whare Inscriptions: Signed: D. Goldsmith Quantity: 1 oil(s). Physical Description: Oil on canvas 610 x 910 mm
