Portrait of Dr Johann Reinhold Forster and his son George Forster, by John Francis Rigaud, London c. 1780. The plant in the brim of the elder Forster's hat is a Forstera sedifolia and the bird in his hand is a New Zealand bellbird, locating the scene in New Zealand. However, the painting has been commonly called "Reinhold and George Forster at Tahiti" or similar. In 1781, it was exhibited at the Royal Academy under the title Portrait of Dr. Foster and his Son on the island of Otaheite.
