QAGOMA | Watch the pan of 'Houses of Parliament, Brisbane' by Harriet Jane Neville-Rolfe @QAGOMA_Australia | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Harriet Jane Neville-Rolfe’s watercolour and pencil Houses of Parliament, Brisbane 1885 (illustrated) was painted just before the artist left Australia to return to England. We can clearly see Queensland’s Parliament House and recognisable landmarks from across the river in a depiction of the daily life of a port city named after the river that runs through it.
