"Harata Rewiri Tarapata" is a notable painting by the acclaimed New Zealand artist Charles Frederick Goldie, renowned for his detailed and realistic portraits of Māori subjects. Created in the early 20th century, this work exemplifies Goldie's meticulous approach to capturing the likeness and spirit of his sitters, who were often elders of the Māori community. Harata Rewiri Tarapata, the subject of this painting, was a prominent Māori woman, and her portrayal by Goldie is imbued with a sense of dignity and respect.

Goldie's paintings are celebrated for their ethnographic significance as well as their artistic merit. He was deeply committed to documenting the Māori people and their culture during a period of significant change and upheaval. His works are characterized by their photographic realism, achieved through painstaking attention to detail and a deep understanding of his subjects. In "Harata Rewiri Tarapata," Goldie employs a rich palette and fine brushwork to render the textures of Harata's skin, clothing, and traditional adornments with remarkable precision.

The painting not only serves as a visual record but also as a cultural artifact, reflecting the complex interactions between European settlers and the indigenous Māori population. Goldie's work has been both praised for its artistic quality and critiqued for its role in the colonial context, raising important discussions about representation and cultural preservation.

"Harata Rewiri Tarapata" remains an important piece within Goldie's oeuvre and is frequently referenced in discussions of New Zealand art history. It is housed in various collections and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic, cultural, and historical significance.
