"White Terrace, Rotomahana" is a notable watercolor painting by the New Zealand artist Charles Decimus Barraud, created in the 19th century. Barraud, born in England in 1822, emigrated to New Zealand in 1849, where he became one of the country's most prominent landscape artists. His works are celebrated for their meticulous detail and ability to capture the sublime beauty of New Zealand's natural scenery.

The painting depicts the White Terraces, also known as Te Tarata, which were one of the natural wonders of New Zealand before their destruction in the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera. The White Terraces were a series of cascading silica deposits that formed stunning, terraced pools filled with geothermal water. They were renowned for their ethereal beauty, with the white silica creating a striking contrast against the surrounding landscape.

Barraud's "White Terrace, Rotomahana" is an exquisite representation of this lost natural wonder. The artist's use of watercolor allows for a delicate rendering of the terraces' intricate formations and the play of light on the water's surface. Barraud's attention to detail and his ability to convey the serene and almost otherworldly atmosphere of the terraces make this painting a significant historical record of a landscape that no longer exists.

The painting not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as an important cultural and historical document. It provides contemporary viewers with a glimpse into the natural beauty that once drew visitors from around the world to New Zealand. Barraud's work is held in high regard and is part of the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, where it continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and historians alike.
