Frederick McCubbin (25 February 1855 – 20 December 1917) was an Australian artist, art teacher and prominent member of the Heidelberg School art movement, also known as Australian impressionism.

I originally only saw the woman and the background and pegged this for a traditional impressionist piece before noting the contrast of the fine details on the trees in the foreground. I really appreciate the blend of natural realism with impressionist techniques. Thanks for sharing.

Hmph!
Now do we also have a Melb-based song from Bartholomew Cubbins?

Haha, perhaps..?
