About the piece

This 1890 oil sketch by Charles Conder captures a serene moment on the River Yarra near Heidelberg. A key figure in the Australian Heidelberg School, Conder uses loose, evocative brushwork and a muted, airy palette to convey the atmospheric warmth and gentle light of the riverside, reflecting the influence of European Impressionism on the Australian landscape.
