Description
This is a 17.7 cm x 27.9 cm watercolour showing about 40 Indigenous Australian people attacking a rowboat carrying five colonists. Most of the warriors are on a steep, rocky headland and those close to the water have spears raised. Two appear to be picking up stones while those further up the cliff watch on. About ten Indigenous Australians appear to be swimming near the boat, one carrying a spear in his mouth. A sailing ship is anchored in the next bay and there are low islands in the background.
