About the piece
Painted in 1891, this luminous profile portrait by Tom Roberts depicts his close friend and fellow artist Arthur Streeton at the age of twenty-four. A key figure in the Australian Impressionist movement, Roberts employs a sophisticated palette where the sitter's warm skin tones and golden beard are framed by a bold, divided background of earthy red and muted green.
