EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait, titled "Nan.bar.ree" and numbered as Drawing 63 from the Watling Collection, offers a rare glimpse into the life of an Aboriginal boy named Nanberry during the late 18th century in Australia. Painted for a dance performance, this portrait was created by a Port Jackson Painter between the years 1789 and 1797. The historic illustration provides an intriguing insight into the traditional attire and adornments worn by Indigenous Australians during this time. Nanberry, an Indigenous person from the waterside area of Port Jackson, is depicted standing confidently with his arms crossed in front of his chest, wearing a cloak made from kangaroo fur and adorned with intricate shell necklaces and other decorative elements. His intricately painted body art, which is a hallmark of Indigenous Australian culture, adds to the overall allure of the portrait. The Watling Collection, which houses this remarkable drawing, is an invaluable resource for historians and researchers studying the history of Indigenous Australians during the early colonial period. This portrait of Nanberry, in particular, offers a unique perspective on the lives of Indigenous people during this time, providing insights into their customs, traditions, and connection to the land. The portrait is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Indigenous Australians and the importance of preserving and celebrating their history. As we admire the beauty and detail of this historic illustration, we are transported back in time, offering us a glimpse into the lives of the Indigenous people who inhabited the land long before European settlement.
