About the piece
Painted in 1853 by artist and explorer Charles Heaphy, this watercolor depicts a boat navigating a vast sea cave on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. The composition uses the dark, arching cave walls to frame a bright, misty vista of the ocean and distant coastal rock formations, rendered in a sophisticated, earthy palette of ochre and sea-foam blue.
