About the piece

Painted in 1886 by the celebrated Australian Impressionist Frederick McCubbin, this work captures a peaceful afternoon in a King Street bakery courtyard. The composition expertly balances the rustic textures of worn wood and stone with a gentle, luminous light filtering through the foliage, while a curious magpie adds a touch of local character to the scene.
