Gillian from Canberra, Australia sent me this beautiful art card. The painting is Nicholas Chevalier's Studley Park at sunrise 1861 from National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, a gift of Mrs Dorothy Gurner in year 1959.
The artist is unknown to me so I had to do some Googling and again I learned new things.
Nicholas Chevalier was born in Russia in 1828 and he was working in Australia between 1854-67.
Studley Park at sunrise is one of Nicholas Chevalier’s few paintings from the early 1860s that depicts a local scene. In the late 1850s and 1860s Studley Park in Kew was a popular picnic spot for the people of Melbourne and a site depicted by numerous artists
From the early 1860s Chevalier travelled throughout south-east Australia and New Zealand in search of dramatic mountain ranges and seascapes for his subject matter.
