Description: Shows Maori rangatira standing with white hair, moko, feather cloak, and a greenstone mere in his right hand. The long tunic beneath his cloak has a decorated hem. The chief was dead by 1856, so Barraud must have made this copy from one of his earlier portraits, based on a painting of 1853, now in the British Library (see E-144-060). Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour 350 x 245 mm Provenance: Miss Pearse's great-grandfather, John Pearse, had brought these three Barraud works to England from New Zealand.
