Howorth, Charles Henry, 1856-1945 :Lakes Rotokakahi (sage green) & Tikitapu (turquoise blue) Rotorua, New Zealand [ca 1908]

View from a high point looking down towards the green lake in the foreground and the blue lake beyond. The two are divided by a hill. A track winds around the base of the bush-clad hills to the right.

An almost identical oil by Howorth from the same standpoint offered at International Art Centre auction, 25 March 2004. Like the Library's view it is signed but not dated. Estimate $25,000 to $35,000

Howorth's Thermal Region paintings were likely to have been completed between 1906, when he left Invercargill, and 1912, with around 1908 the most likely date
