Description

A three-quarter length portrait of Taratoa seated on a hillside in front of a palisade fence on the skyline 60 paces away. A flag flies on the flagpole by the fence. The flag has a red background, with (top left to bottom right) a Christian cross, an inverted new moon, and a 5-pointed star. Taratoa wears a rural European grey smock and bark (grey?) neckerchief.

Based on a photograph. Robley is not thought to have met Taratoa
