Description
This is a watercolour, measuring 17.7 cm x 27.7 cm, created by Joseph Lycett in about 1817. It depicts an Indigenous Australian family sheltering from a storm in the entrance of a cave in New South Wales. A man holds a fish and a firebrand and a woman sits on a rock nursing a baby. A third adult squats before a fire, apparently placing wood on it. Trees and bushes nearby are being blown by the wind; in the background, waves pound a rocky headland beneath a cloudy sky.
