About the piece
Created around 1850 by the acclaimed artist Conrad Martens, this painting captures Wiseman's Ferry on the Hawkesbury River as it appeared in the late 1830s. The composition skillfully balances the rugged detail of the foreground sandstone cliffs and covered wagon against the atmospheric, luminous haze of the distant mountains.
