About the piece

Painted in 1914 by George Washington Lambert, 'Important People' is a monumental work of Australian art. The composition artfully brings together a fashionably dressed woman, a gentleman in a top hat, and a young pugilist around a central infant, creating a rich and enigmatic narrative set against a sun-drenched shoreline.
