About the piece
Painted in 1813, this work by John William Lewin serves as both a detailed still life and a significant historical record of early colonial Australia. The composition features a variety of local fish species, notable for their luminous scales and vivid reds and silvers, gathered before a woven basket on the shores of Sydney Harbour with Dawes Point visible in the distant background.
