Frame
The former framing of At Elizabeth Bay, (1376-4), 1894 amounted to a reduced ‘Whistlerian’ moulding with a linen covered slip, the standard framing used from around 1939 onward for the reframing of the Australian painting collection. It is not known when this frame was fitted to the painting though it is unlikely to have been on the painting at the time of acquisition in 1944.
The decision to reframe the panel was made ahead of the Australian Impressionism exhibition in 2007.
The new frame is based on the frame on Arthur Streeton’s Sunlight: cutting on a hot road 1895 in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, a frame believed to have been chosen by Streeton in 1896.
The frame is one of four frames made in this manner for paintings by Arthur Streeton.
The others appear on: Hawkesbury River (919-5), Sydney Harbour (2004.223), Scheherazade (2004.222).
