This rare Foy Bros carte de visite photograph of Ana Rupene with her daughter was made in their Thames studio circa 1874. Studio portraits of Maori were often produced to depict whanau. The Foy Bros photographs of Ana Rupene, Pare Watene, Hori Ngakapa and Tamati Waka Te Puhi formed the basis for portraits painted by Gottfried Lindauer.
