Like many Australian artists, Septimus Power sought to study and further his artistic career in Europe, becoming one of the more successful emigres. He trained in Paris at the famed Académie Julian between 1905 and 1907, then moved to England where he specialised as a painter of animals. From 1908–35 he exhibited dozens of paintings at the RA, including this work, only his second successful entry to the RA exhibition in 1911. Power was appointed as an Official War Artist and later played a role in establishing the art collection of the Australian War Memorial.
