By: Aubrey, Christopher, active 1868-1906

Reference: C-152-003

Description: Shows a view of a single storey wooden house with a front verandah, in a section bounded by hedges and a front white picket fence. The property is planted with trees and shrubs with a front lawn. A boy tosses a ball on the front lawn. A woman stands holding an infant on the driveway in front of the house, to greet two women who have descended from a horsedrawn buggy at the right, and have passed through the front gate to approach the house up the driveway. Another buggy is parked in the centre foreground, with no horses attached. In the right foreground are two cows, and a dog runs in from the far right. Another dog watches, lying on the roadway beside the gate. In an adjoining field at the far left, a man on horseback approaches the hedged property. Behind the house, within the hedge, is a garden with rows of plants, probably vegetables. In the background is a low hill with three more white buildings on it, and further hills rise in the distance. The name "Mr Price" is inscribed on the backing board. The Southland location is assumed from the fact that Aubrey painted in Southland and Otago in the 1870s and early 1880s. The most prominent farmer in the district was John Morgan Price on Hawthorn Farm at Athol; a comparison with photographs of the farm buildings in Trevor Price's "Morgan Price & family : story of John Morgan Price ... (Auckland, 1991), gives no conclusive evidence that the homestead in the painting is on that farm. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 375 x 560 mm.
