Panorama of Sydney Harbour, Panel II, Mosman to St George's Head [sic]

This painting is the second panel of a 20 metre panoramic frieze of Sydney Harbour foreshores at sunset painted by Muriel Binney for the First Australian Exhibition of Women's Work, held in Melbourne in 1907. The complete panorama was later selected for display in the Australian Pavilion at the Franco-British Exhibition in London in 1908 where it was awarded a silver medal. This particular section of the painting depicts Mosman Bay, Athol Bight, Taylor Bay, Clifton Gardens, Obelisk Bay and Middle Head. The panorama is noted for displaying a large variety of sailing craft and vessels including steamships, sailing yachts, canoes and other leisure boats.
