William Frater
Smith's Gully, c. 1940
SOLD
Catalogue number: 19
oil on board
51.00 x 39.50
signed in pencil 'William Frater' l.r. (most likely at a later date)
Smith's Gully, between Panton Hill and St Andrew's, north-east of Melbourne, is in the area favoured by Frater, Sumner, Bryans and Lawlor for weekend painting trips in the late 1930's. Stylistically, it would seem to date from a later period.
