Wounded aboriginal man. 18th-century artwork of a male Australian aborigine who has been wounded in the back and chest with a spear while sleeping. He is in the New South Wales area, near the British colony in Port Jackson, a harbour in south-eastern Australia where Sydney was founded in 1788. Recorded by a Port Jackson painter in the period 1788 to 1797, this scene is drawing 52 from the Natural History Museum's Watling Collection.
