About the piece

Painted in 1886 by Tom Roberts, a leading figure of Australian Impressionism, this work captures the tranquil, golden light of a Sunday afternoon. Two figures are nestled in a sunlit glade, framed by the vertical rhythms of tall eucalypts and the soft, textured undergrowth of the Australian landscape.
