About the piece
Painted in 1890, this work by Australian Impressionist Arthur Streeton captures the atmospheric beauty of McMahon's Point. The composition leads the eye from the foreground rooftops across the shimmering blue water to the distant coastline, anchored by the plume of smoke from a departing ferry. It exemplifies the Heidelberg School's focus on capturing the unique light and landscape of the Australian coast.
