Description
The remarkable compositions produced by Arthur Streeton between 1895 and 1896 hold a singular place in the history and development of Australian art. This beautiful and delicately rendered image distils both the silence and majesty of the primeval bush, highlighting just how small is human life against the immensity of nature.
