About this object

Framed oil painting of Jane Faulkner, one of John Lees Faulkner's twelve children. Artist unknown. Mounted on green/blue card with oval gold surround. The painting has been reframed and discolouration marks show the extent of the old frame. John Lee Faulkner was an early settler at Tauranga and owned a trading store in Otumoetai, along the base of the Otumoetai Pa, in the 1840's. He had twelve children by his first wife - Ruawahine, including Jane. Jane married Captain Daniel Sellars, who worked for the Northern Steamship Company.

Hi Adrienne, The image on this website was taken when the painting was being conserved by the Auckland Museum in 1999. During the conservation process the frame and matt were removed leaving the painting as you see it. After conservation the painting was returned to the frame and again looks like how you must remember it. Tauranga Heritage Collection TaurangaHeritage@tauranga.govt.nz
