Collection of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, donated by the family of Edwin John Spence, born Dunedin 1864, Annie Jane Spence, nee Layton, born Dunedin, 1869 and Percy Layton Spence, born Dunedin 1878. These paintings were a gift to the Spence family through their friendship with Frances Hodgkins when they lived in Dunedin. The family left Dunedin in 1899 for Japan and a descendent, Mrs J. Day, has given the artworks back to New Zealand from the United Kingdom in July 2007.
