About the piece

Painted in 1832 by John Glover, this striking oil on canvas depicts a corroboree in the Tasmanian landscape of Mills Plains. The composition is anchored by the intricate, serpentine branches of a large gum tree, set against a glowing pink and orange sunset that illuminates the gathered figures and the rugged terrain of the Australian bush.
