Rainbow Lorikeet in a Suburban Garden 1978 by Peter Trusler
$8000
Rainbow Lorikeet in a Suburban Garden 1978 (25 x 34 cm) is part of Peter Trusler's Birds of Australian Gardens series which he worked on alongside authors Tess Kloot and Ellen M. McCulloch. Their collective four year commitment to study and research birds in Australia had a significant contribution to ornithological artistry and literature. Trusler uses a 'photographic' style in order to present every detail of colour to utmost value. The painting has been in The National Bank Collection of Modern Art from 1980 until 2022.

Fishwives, Etaples c1910 by Hilda Rix Nicholas
$8500
Fishwives, Etaples is a pastel on paper (35.7 x 26.5 cm) dated circa 1910. Hilda was born in Ballarat, Victoria. She had a studio in the artists' colony at Etaples. With the declaration of war in 1914, she escaped Etaples to England. This piece was exhibited in her 1922 Exhibition of Paintings and Drawings of Australian Life and Landscape (No. 30, 15 gn) which toured provincial English galleries. These idealized images of the Australian 'country, its beauty and types of virile manhood', stimulated migration to Australia from northern towns disrupted by industrial unrest (Avenel Mitchell,1988)
