"White Terraces With Bathers And Waka" is a notable painting by Charles Decimus Barraud, a prominent New Zealand artist and pharmacist of the 19th century. Barraud, born in 1822 in Camberwell, London, emigrated to New Zealand in 1849, where he became known for his detailed and evocative landscapes that captured the natural beauty of the country. His works are celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to convey the grandeur and serenity of New Zealand's landscapes.

This particular painting, "White Terraces With Bathers And Waka," depicts the famous Pink and White Terraces, also known as Te Otukapuarangi and Te Tarata, which were natural silica formations located on the shores of Lake Rotomahana in the North Island of New Zealand. These terraces were considered the eighth wonder of the natural world before they were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886. Barraud's painting is one of the few visual records that provide a glimpse into the appearance of these natural wonders before their destruction.

In the painting, Barraud captures the terraces' cascading pools and the delicate, pale hues of the silica formations. The inclusion of bathers and a waka (a traditional Māori canoe) adds a human element to the scene, highlighting the interaction between the natural environment and the indigenous Māori culture. The bathers are depicted enjoying the warm, mineral-rich waters, which were renowned for their therapeutic properties.

Barraud's work is not only an artistic achievement but also an important historical document, offering insight into a lost natural wonder and the cultural practices associated with it. His ability to blend precise topographical detail with a sense of tranquility and reverence for the landscape makes "White Terraces With Bathers And Waka" a significant piece in New Zealand's artistic heritage.
