Pare Watene, also known as Pare Watana. According to James Cowan, her father was Hemi Watene of Ngati Maru. Lindauer's 1878 portrait of Pare Watene is a good likeness of the Foy Brothers photograph taken in Thames between 1871 and 1878. The name Whakaarorangi is inscribed on the back of the photograph and this was her married name. Lindauer was not the only artist to paint a portrait of Pare. J. Gant had a number of portraits of Maori available for sale in 1888 in Wellington. His portrait of Pare went to auction with the title Pari Whakaarorangi a Waikato Chieftaness alongside a portrait of King Tawhiao. (http://www.lindaueronline.co.nz/maori-portraits/pare-watene)Stäng
