signed lower left: Arthur Streeton 89
inscribed lower right: Heidelberg

Streeton, Charles Conder, Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin and other brothers of the brush of the ‘Heidelberg School’ embraced the seasons of noonday suns and foggy morns, the transience of dawn and twilight, and the ever-fleeting spring, with an immediacy that only the brilliant Impressionist technique would allow.
