A Māori and Pākehā man trading a crayfish, drawing by Tupaia, c. 1769

A Māori and Pākehā man trading a crayfish is a c. 1769 watercolour and pencil drawing by Tupaia. The drawing depicts an unknown Māori man and Joseph Banks trading a crayfish for a piece of cloth.[1][2]

The drawing is referenced by Michel Tuffery in his work Tupaia's chart Cook and Banks/Tupaia's and Parkinson's paintbox.[3] The artist Sarah Munro created a series Trade Items which uses embroidery to reference Tupaia's drawing.[4][5] The drawing has also inspired and been referenced by other artists including Ayesha Green, Jo Torr and Marian Maguire.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
