About the piece
Created in 1853 by artist and explorer Charles Heaphy, this delicate watercolor captures a pair of Pīwakawaka (fantails) in flight. The composition features soft pink and white floral clusters, rendered with the precise yet airy touch characteristic of mid-century naturalist illustration. The piece reflects the artist's observations of New Zealand's unique fauna during his time as a surveyor and naturalist.
