About the piece
Painted in 1890, this work by Arthur Streeton is a quintessential example of the Heidelberg School. It depicts a 'selector'—a small-scale farmer—resting on a log beside his modest hut, rendered with the atmospheric, loose brushwork and sun-drenched palette that defined the birth of Australian Impressionism.
