About the piece

Created in 1889 by William Piguenit, this oil on canvas captures the sublime beauty of the Australian wilderness. The composition features a powerful interplay of light and shadow, as sunbeams pierce through heavy mist and swirling clouds above the forested cliffs of the Nepean river valley.
