Sketch of Te Whiti-o-Rongomai
Sketch of Te Whiti-o-Rongomai, made by W. F. R. Gordon during a hui at Parihaka in 1880.
Te Whiti requested that no likenesses be taken, but Gordon did not want to waste the opportunity, so, during the proceedings, sketched a likeness of the prophet on his shirtsleeve. He later re-drew this, filling in remembered details. It was said to be a good likeness.
