Kamehameha III, 1825, Oil on canvas by Robert Dampier (British, 1800-1874). Posed as the monarch he was destined to become, young Kamehameha stands regally in a verdant setting, the small settlement of Honolulu fort just visible beyond the banana trees that frame him. Holding a spear, he is draped in a traditional feather garment. Kamehameha III reigned from 1825 to 1854, during which time he oversaw Hawaii transition from a feudal society to a constitutional monarchy.
