Type	oil on canvas on composition board

The work was painted a few months after Roberts' return to Australia in 1885, after he had spent four years in Europe .[2] It was not displayed until 1890, and only five days beforehand, Roberts added three female figures to the lower left.[2][3] Roberts was unable to find a buyer and handed the painting to fellow artist, Frederick McCubbin. In 1920, McCubbin's widow sold the painting to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Library for 20 guineas—forwarding the proceeds to Roberts, who was in London at the time.[3]
