Cook Strait, New Zealand (painting (visual work); Nicholas Chevalier (Swiss painter, 1828-1902); ca.1884; Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Wellington, Welling...; 2003-0034-1)

Note: On commission from the Otago and Canterbury Provincial Councils, he made a large number of pencil sketches and watercolours of the South Island. After four months he returned to his Australian base, but revisited New Zealand in November 1868 as part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s entourage on HMS Galatea. During this trip he travelled about the lower North Island and up the west coast as far as Wanganui. The two watercolours Near Paekakariki, Cook Strait and Kapiti that are directly associated with the large oil painting Cook Strait, New Zealand were likely to have been executed on this journey.
