Catalogue Note
'A concluding scene in the group of Australasian pictures illustrating Maoris at a woodland shrine and giving some idea of the splendid colour and ruggedness of the country. The atmosphere of mystery and grandeur has been finely caught by the artist.' (The Red Lacquer Room, Austin Reed, London, p.11)
