'Melon Patch,' 1896

Oil on panel, signed and dated lower right 'A Streeton '96'. Other Notes: onstructed as a vertical tableau, this work is typical of Streeton's 1890s Sydney compositions, revealing an interest in Japanese forms such as the pillar print. Other works were realised in the horizontal, most famously Sydney Harbour and Sirius Cove views. 'Melon Patch,' 1896 is an expression of the fertility of nature, and our interaction with it through farming. Sheets of rain fall from a distant cloud burst, transmogrify through the middle ground, and resolve into propitious fruits on the vine - the natural cycle renews continuously. The scene is likely a region of the Hawkesbury River at the foot of Sydney's Blue Mountains, 59.5 x 27 cm (sight) 		*** ***
