Painting on a tin plate by “Gussie” Knight

Artwork

Step back into the 1890s in this painting of Strawberry Hill. “Gussie” Knight, an art teacher and member of the West Australian Society of Arts, painted this for her friend Augusta Maude Bird, who lived here from 1889. This is a very rare example of the work of this accomplished artist, as much of her art was destroyed by fire following her death in 1904.
