English:
Oil on canvas. Shows a view over the Avon River towards the Port Hills, with the houses of Dr Alfred Barker, Mr Guise Brittan and the Lands Office all on Oxford Terrace, close to the Worcester Street Bridge. Dr Barker's house is shown tarred. There is a flag flying outside the Lands Office. A more distant building is the Lyttelton Hotel. A bullock team waits by the riverside, and there is a horse and rider further away on Oxford Terrace. The near side of the river has flax, and a cabbage tree at the right.
View is similar to an original sketch by Dr A C Barker done in 1851, a version of which was reproduced in the Illustrated London news, volume 22, no 616 (9 April 1853), page 268.
