Cunningham is a forgotten Australian Impressionist. Little is known about this Melbourne artist, but the style and quality of this beautiful, plein air watercolour is reminiscent of contemporaries of the time, Reginald Ward Sturgess, Sydney Long and Jesse Jewhurst Hilder. This work was exhibited at the Sackville Art Gallery at Talbot House, Melbourne in 1924, and his work was given a glowing review by The Argus Newspaper.
