"Ana Rupene With Child" is a notable 19th-century oil painting by Bohemian-born New Zealand artist Gottfried Lindauer. Created in 1878, this portrait is one of Lindauer's many works that depict Māori individuals, reflecting his significant contribution to the visual documentation and portrayal of Māori culture during the colonial period of New Zealand's history. The painting features Ana Rupene, a Māori woman of the Ngāti Toa iwi (tribe), holding a sleeping child in her arms, which is believed to be her grandchild.

Lindauer's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of traditional Māori clothing, adornments, and the hei tiki (a carved neck pendant) worn by Rupene, which are culturally significant and symbolize status and lineage. The portrait is also notable for its sensitive depiction of the subjects, capturing a moment of maternal tenderness and cultural pride.

"Ana Rupene With Child" is part of a larger body of work by Lindauer that sought to capture the likeness and spirit of Māori leaders and community members during a time of rapid social change and upheaval. Lindauer's portraits are highly regarded for their ethnographic value as well as their artistic merit, providing a window into the lives of Māori people and the cultural exchanges occurring in New Zealand during the late 19th century.

The painting is held in a public collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing dialogue about New Zealand's colonial history, cross-cultural encounters, and the representation of indigenous peoples in art. "Ana Rupene With Child" remains an important work for its historical significance, aesthetic qualities, and as a testament to Lindauer's skill and empathy as a portraitist.
