His hat sits on the table behind him to the left on top of a substantial book, perhaps his journal, itself resting on the chart.

Through his careful delineation of the ships, which are entering the Cremyll Passage, the artist has fused a landscape painting with one concerned with the sea at a period when he was working in England.

‘The Lad Taiyota, Native of Otaheite, in the Dress © Royal Society of his Country’ Richard Bernard Godfrey after Sydney Parkinson

Taiyota (Taiata) was the young servant of Toobaiah (Tupaia), "a sort of high-priest of Otaheite [Tahiti]", and is here seen playing "a musical instrument, somewhat like a flute, which they blow into through their noses". Both Tupaia and Taiata travelled on with Endeavour, James Cook's voyage, but died in Batavia, on the return voyage to Europe. Illustration from A journal of a voyage to the South Seas, in His Majesty's ship, The Endeavour, by Sydney Parkinson (London, 1773), which was published posthumously.
