Reference: A-092-002

Description: Shows full face head and shoulders portrait of Maori man with feather cloak, turkey feather above left ear, and moko. A copy of this engraving, once thought to be the original for the engraving, is in the Rex Nan Kivell coll, National Library of Australia, Ref. NK2090. The original watercolour is much more likely to be that at A-237-042. (Much closer resemblance and image reversed). The ink copy in the Rex Nan Kivell Collection has an inscription, copying the title of the engraving, in the hand of Thomas Kendall. Probably shows refer to Turi-a-kuna (Tooree Oganna), nephew of Te Pahi. See Journal of the Polynesian Society, vol. 8, page 211 (top of page), which incorrectly refers to him as a nephew of Te Pehi.

Description: Shows full-face head and shoulders portrait of a Maori chief with moko, short curly hair, a turkey feather over his right ear, ear ornaments and a feather cloak. The chief's name was Te Uri Kanae Attribution based on the fact that an engraving was made of this work in 1824, and Lewin is acknowledged as artist ("Lewin del."). A copy of the engraving is held at A-092-002 According to Ellis' "Early prints of New Zealand" (Christchurch, 1978), A Hoodee O Gunna [Turi a Kuna] was a signatory to the first sale of land in New Zealand, to the Church Missionary Society in February 1815. Dating has been made on the basis of this. The subject is a chief of Rangihoua and nephew of Te Pahi. Lewin is said to have made his sketch of this subject in Sydney; there is no evidence for Lewin having visited New Zealand. Other Titles - Te Uri o Kanae Turi a Kuna Rangihoua Inscriptions: None. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 166 x 133 mm.
