Waterfall in Dusky Bay with Maori canoe es una pintura extremadamente rara de William Hodges, un pintor inglés empleado como dibujante en el segundo viaje del capitán Cook al Pacífico a bordo de la Resolución de 1772-75. Es una de las seis pinturas al óleo sobre tabla de una colección privada en el Reino Unido, descendientes de una familia almirante asociada con los viajes de Cook. La pintura representa una escena en Dusky Sound, Tamatea, donde Cook hizo la primera cascada en Nueva Zelanda el 26 de marzo de 1773. Ahí, Cook y su equipo pasaron un idílico dos meses reparando la Resolución, haciendo observaciones astronómicas, cervezando cerveza, recolectando especímenes, reponiendo provisiones y explorando los alrededores. Mientras tanto Hodges estaba dibujando todo lo que encontró – el paisaje y la gente. For on the 6 April 1773 contact was made with a family group of Southern Māori, possibly Kāti Mamoe (a migratory group of hunters and gatherers who regularly visited the Sounds). Durante encuentros durante un período de tres semanas Hodges hizo varios retratos del grupo. Waterfall in Dusky Bay with Maori canoe offers a quietly majestuoso scene that brings together Hodges’ observations of the landscape – the waterfall cascading from height through the bush on the right, the mountains receding into the distance, bory with clouds and mist and the green deeps of thewater – with his studies of Māori, seated here in a waka with large hoe, or paddles. Juntos, se combinan para formar una pintura con un ambiente claramente romántico.
