Gottfried Lindauer
Portrait of William Smart
Artwork Detail
Portraits by Lindauer are highly prized and valued, particularly as ancestral records. He worked from photographs, which accounts for why some portraits appear non-interactive. Indeed, Lindauer was commisioned to paint William's portrait after he was killed when a jigger was hit by a train while he was working for New Zealand Railways. William Smart was born in Woodville (Papatawa) where Lindauer lived and kept a studio.
