About the piece

Painted in 1832 by John Glover, this work masterfully depicts the Tasmanian wilderness with its distinctive sinuous eucalyptus trees and rolling terrain. The scene looks across the River Tamar toward the growing settlement of Launceston, rendered with a luminous quality that reflects the artist's fascination with the Australian light.
