Kamehameha at Kamakahonu
The wars were over and the Kingdom of Hawaii firmly established. At Kamakahonu, his estate at Kailua Village in Kona, Kamehameha devoted his last years to ruling his kingdom as a benevolent and just monarch, encouraging prosperity, conducting business with foreigners, and educating his son Liholiho as his successor. The painting depicts him wearing a simple kapa garment in conversation with his son Liholiho. Beside him stands his prime minister, Kalanimoku. The prince's attendant, wearing a short yellow cape, is John Papa L'i, who later became an important historian. The fish in the foreground represent the gifts of food brought daily to the court. Two ladies of the court are seated at left. Kamehameha's residence was a complex of thatched structures around a tranquil cove at Kailua Bay. Across the cove stands his private temple, 'Ahu'ena.
