H. E. Pain

  • Artist (Painter)
H. E. Pain was a collector of curios from the Pacific Region, confusingly still referred to as the 'South Seas' by Australians at the time, a hangover from the country's British heritage. He was also a talented artist and was commissioned to create works to welcome the Duke of Edinburgh in 1867. He particularly focussed on the lives of Indigenous Australians and on native flora and fauna.
