The Parliament Collection:
Four separate water-colours framed in one. Seems to have been designed as one although the top and bottom wagon pictures were painted on separate small pieces of paper with perforated edges, that were glued onto the sheet. The two centre images of people were painted directly onto the sheet. The images are all bordered with blue, black and red ink lines. The work as a whole is contained by a black border. Top: covered wagon drawn by two oxen; centre left, two men and a woman; centre right an elderly man and a woman; and at bottom two horses pulling an open wagon loaded with barrels.[4 studies of Khoi, Cape Muslims and two wagons. ca 1838]; 1. Cape Waggon 2. "Africanders" 3. Malay woman and "Old Moses" 4. Cape Dray
