This early work from R Godfrey Rivers’s Australian oeuvre was made during the late 1880s, just before Rivers settled permanently in Brisbane, and during the period he taught with Blamire Young and Phil May at Katoomba College in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney. The free treatment suggests it may be a preliminary sketch for a larger work.
