Description

The road rising from the centre of the view to the left is the Te Aro end of The Terrace, with the Terrace Gaol prominent on the left. St Peter's church spire can be seen to the right, with Te Aro and part of Wellington Harbour. The view is painted from Mitchelltown and a fenced garden and a conifer form the foreground on the right.

Possibly painted by William Potts, although the only basis for this assumption is the initials and the approximate period of the work. The Library has no other watercolours known to be by Potts with which to compare the style. Potts certainly painted realistic watercolours of Wellington at this period, but they are known only through the chromolithograpic copies made from them.
