About the piece

Painted in 1774 by William Hodges during Captain Cook’s second voyage, this work depicts Fare Harbour on the island of Huahine. The composition balances the rugged, verdant peaks of the island with the calm waters of the harbor, populated by traditional outrigger canoes and thatched-roof dwellings along the shore.
