Description

A view of Nelson Harbour from the hills above, and possibly from where William Fox was living. The Boulder Bank and Haulashore Island are visible, with snow-capped mountains in the distance. A two-masted ship and two waka can be seen in Nelson Haven, as well as two other vessels out in Tasman Bay. There are figures unloading barrels on the shore, and two houses in the foreground on the left

Accompanied by a photocopied letter, originally adhered to the back of the painting, from Dawn Smith of the Nelson Provincial Library, dated 1982. It suggests the (unsigned) work is by William Fox, and that the handwriting on the recto is that of a Miss Longueville, some of whose works the Nelson Museum holds
