"Christian's
consort, Isabella (Mauatua)"
This intimate
portrait seeks to be of a vision only a lover holds
in his mind. There is little evidence Fletcher Christian
was ever deeply in love with anyone but himself - but then
again that is supposedly a pre-requisite for the real thing.
The cloth that drapes the girl’s glistening coconut
scented body is woven with European colours. A gift from
Christian. (3c) 14" x 11" individual
print
