Note: Wellington Harbour was a favourite subject for artist James M. Nairn, one that he explored repeatedly from 1891 after he settled in Wellington. One of his primary interests was in the effects of light on the surface of the water. To capture this, heused unmixed colours applied with the loose, flicking brushstrokes characteristic of Impressionist painters.
