About the piece
Painted in 1883, Alfred Sharpe’s watercolor masterfully depicts the dense bush of the Bay of Islands. The work focuses on the majestic girth of native trees, with sunlight filtering through the canopy to illuminate the textures of the bark and forest floor, creating a sense of quiet reverence for the landscape.
