Landscape with settlers is an oil by Messenger Sisters, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
This painting shows a landscape with settlers in the foreground. There are two houses, one larger than the other, with a person standing in front of the larger house. The houses are beige with blue roofs. In front of the houses, there are tree stumps and branches on the ground. A horse is standing to the right of the houses. In the background, there is a forest of trees and a large mountain with snow on top. The sky is blue with some clouds. The painting is held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
