Provenance: Purchased in Australia by current owner the work was recently repatriated to New Zealand. It appears that this was a larger work which at some stage has been cut down and laid on board. Whilst the technique resonates with that of Lindauer we have been unable to determine categoric authentication prior to cataloguing. Particular attention should be paid to the female subject's intricate moko.
