Thought is a portrait of the artist's niece in a distinctly Australian costume adorned with appliqued gum leaves and a gum nut belt. The sitter is pictured in a meditative pose and the evocative title of the photograph encourages an allegorical interpretation of the work. The photograph is an exhibition-size print in its original frame. Hollick entered 'Thought' in the Colonial Exhibition in London in 1921 and was awarded a bronze medal.
