Traditional Portrait of young Warrior

This is the son of a great friend. He just had to be the blip of the day as he has such a striking profile. It reminds me of famous paintings that are held in Museums and Art Galleries around New Zealand that we could not possibly own of our friends or Whanau ( family).
He is nine and shows the strength and character of his iwi and heritiage both Maori and Rarotonga.
