"Hinemoa" is a notable oil painting by Bohemian-born New Zealand artist Gottfried Lindauer, created in 1890. The painting is a portrait of Hinemoa, a legendary Māori figure known from Māori mythology, who is celebrated for her love story with Tutanekai, set on and around Lake Rotorua. Lindauer's work is part of a larger series of portraits that depict Māori individuals, and it is exemplary of his dedication to capturing the likeness and spirit of his subjects with a high degree of realism and sensitivity.

The painting showcases Lindauer's skill in rendering fine details, particularly in the intricate depiction of traditional Māori clothing, tattoos (moko), and adornments. "Hinemoa" is not only significant as a work of art but also as a cultural artifact, providing insight into the representation of Māori culture and heritage during the colonial period in New Zealand. The portrait is often discussed in the context of colonial encounters, the preservation of indigenous cultures, and the role of art in shaping national identity.

Gottfried Lindauer's "Hinemoa" is held in high esteem in both art historical and cultural studies for its aesthetic qualities and its contribution to the understanding of Māori culture. The painting is part of the collection of the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the largest art institution in New Zealand, which houses a significant number of Lindauer's works. The portrait of Hinemoa continues to be a subject of admiration and study, reflecting the enduring legacy of Lindauer's artistic achievements and the importance of Māori heritage in New Zealand's cultural narrative.
