In 1939, Rita Angus spent four months staying in Wanaka with her friends Marjorie and William Marshall. Marjorie Marshall was a fellow painter, fri and former student who had met Angus at art school. Her husband William was the teacher at the local Wanaka school. During the visit, William would drive the two women out on weekend painting expeditions into the surrounding countryside. Although we belive this work was cat. no. 88 in the 1940 Group Show, the accompaning catalogue, of which there is a facsimile copy attached, did not include photographic reproductions. Lake Wanaka, Pembroke was exhibited with The Group in 1940.
