About the piece

Painted in 1886 by Frederick McCubbin, 'Lost' is a seminal work of the Australian Impressionist movement. It captures the haunting beauty of the Australian bush with soft, muted tones and vertical eucalyptus trunks that create a sense of both enclosure and vastness, centered on the poetic and narrative subject of a lost child.
