About the piece

Painted in 1889 by Jacques Carabain, this masterful oil on canvas work depicts a lively afternoon on Queen Street, Auckland. The Belgian-born artist, renowned for his cityscapes, captures the intricate architectural details of the Victorian facades, including Anderson's Imperial Hotel, and the daily rhythm of colonial life with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians beneath a luminous, expansive sky.
