View from the verandah at Hobartville, seat of Mrs. W. Cox / Frederick Garling

This is a landscape view, executed in watercolour on paper, and measuring 24.5 x 34.5cm. This figure-in-landscape watercolour picture represents the view from the verandah at Hobartville, on the outskirts of Richmond, N.S.W., with views to the Blue Mountains. The painting shows a man in a dark suit and top hat with two women in fashionably flounced gowns, standing at the edge of a wide expanse of sandstone flagging, under a high timber-lined verandah supported by four iron or wooden striated Doric columns with creeping vines, with a sweeping outlook over semi-cultivated gardens, cleared and fenced  plains, looking towards a low range of hills.
