About the piece

Painted in 1867 by James Crowe Richmond, this work depicts the Te Reinga falls of the Wairoa River in Hawke's Bay. Richmond, a notable New Zealand statesman and artist, uses delicate watercolor washes to convey the atmospheric distance of the hills while using more vigorous strokes to capture the churn of the falling water and the rocky canyon walls.
