Drawing; watercolour, from a collection of nineteen Thomas Bock portraits of Tasmanian Aboriginal people, held by the British Museum. It depicts a woman wearing a fibre neck-ornament, a shell necklace as well as a fur cloak, and who has scarification on her arms. Until 2017, it was thought to depict Wutapuwitja (aka Wortabowidgee, Fanny or Jock) a Tasmanian Aboriginal woman from Port Dalrymple, but is now believed to be Trukanini (see curatorial comments).
