Image: exhibited 1848 Oil on canvas “A striking essay in the sublime and a fascinating recreation of his (Westall’s) own early experiences on the Australian coast” Justine Hopkins 21st April 1988
Compare with a short review from St. James Chronicle May 1805 of ‘A View in the Bay of Pines, New South Wales’; by W.Westall : “A remarkable scene,delineated in a bold and masterly style, and well calculated to convey a striking idea of that country and its inhabitants.”
