About the piece

Painted in 1895 by Arthur Streeton, a central figure of the Heidelberg School, this work is a masterpiece of Australian Impressionism. Streeton expertly employs a palette of warm ochres, soft yellows, and hazy blues to translate the physical sensation of heat and light across a rural landscape, with a lone figure in the distance grounding the vast, sun-bleached expanse.
