• Notes:
  Jane Price painted this location several times; note another nocturne is held in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, (a larger version at 32.4 x 49.1cm). Jane Price painted in an impressionist style; a student of Frederick McCubbin, living and working as their family governess in South Yarra, Melbourne. Price also exhibited her paintings at the McCubbin’s residence. McCubbin taught her three important lessons; to paint in a higher key, to use a square brush technique, and to load the brush with oil paint thick enough to create impasto within her painted images. Price’s technique changed after meeting Frederick McCubbin. Accompanied with a letter of authenticity from Mr Peter Perry, formerly the Director of the Castlemaine Art Gallery.
