Note:
Two similar works, also of Italian villages (both undated), are in the Art Gallery of NSW Collection, where a retrospective exhibition of his work was held in 1982. Dundas won the 1927 Society of Artists Travelling Scholarship, enabling him to study at the Regent Street Polytechnic, London (1927-28) and travel through Italy and France the following year. He returned to Australia in 1930, and taught at the National Art School in Sydney until his retirement. Italian Hill Town was probably painted from sketches done during his 1929 trip through Italy.
