This work is a study for a mural for the Tourist Hotel Corporation’s Milford Hotel at Piopiotahi Milford Sound. Three such studies are known, all of which are in the Fletcher Trust Collection. It is not presently clear whether each was intended to be realised as a different mural or whether each represented a different option for a single mural. However, it appears that only Milford Mural 3 was carried to completion. The mural has likely been destroyed.
