The oil painting titled Hinemoa, the Maori girl was executed by the Russian-born artist Nicholas Chevalier. Created about 1880, the work depicts a Maori woman named Hinemoa. The subject is a woman of the Te Arawa people. This specific figure is recognized in Māori tradition for her swim across the waters of Lake Rotorua to Mokoia island to reach Tūtānekai.
In this 1880 oil painting, two outrigger canoes navigate through turquoise and cerulean waters. The composition follows a diagonal path from the lower right toward the left midground, creating a sense of movement across the sea. Figures within the vessels transport various goods, including tropical fruits and shells. The water's surface reflects the midday sun, producing bright highlights and soft shadows. In the background, vertical palm trees and jagged mountain…
This oil on canvas work is titled "Self portrait" and was executed by the artist Nicholas Chevalier. The painting, created in 1857, presents a close-up view of the artist's head and shoulders. The subject is positioned slightly off-center within the frame, looking directly toward the viewer with a piercing gaze. The composition focuses on the facial features and the textures of the subject's beard and clothing.
In the vast, sun-drenched expanse of the mid-19th century landscape, Nicholas Chevalier captures more than just a moment in time; he captures the very essence of human ambition. Memorandum of the Start of the Exploring Expedition serves as a breathtaking window into an era defined by discovery and the relentless pursuit of the unknown. The painting presents a sweeping historical tableau where a group of intrepid travelers, mounted on sturdy…
This evocative watercolor by Nicholas Chevalier transports the viewer directly to a sun-drenched stretch of New Zealand coastline around 1875. The scene is imbued with the quiet rhythm of leisure, capturing a moment where human activity harmoniously intersects with the vast, untamed power of nature. One can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against the sand and feel the warmth of the coastal breeze. Chevalier masterfully frames this idyllic…
In the delicate, translucent layers of The Five Rivers Plains and the course of River Oreti, Southland, we are transported back to the year 1866, witnessing a moment of profound stillness in the New Zealand landscape. Nicholas Chevalier, a master of capturing the atmospheric nuances of the colonial frontier, presents us with a watercolor that breathes with the vitality of the natural world. The composition unfolds across the vast, grassy…

During the 1880s Nicholas Chevalier’s health began to decline and severe gout in his right hand interrupted his ability to paint for long periods. In an attempt to relieve his condition Chevalier and his wife spent winters on the island of Madeira in Portugal, where his final watercolours were made. This watercolour was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1895, shortly before Chevalier was obliged to give up painting altogether,…
