Frederick Terry began earning a living as an artist soon after arriving in NSW in search of gold in 1852. As a leading commercial artist in Sydney in the 1850s and 1860s, he produced numerous images for the local press, also maintaining a more formal art practice by exhibiting and selling larger watercolours.

It is likely that this view of a colonial homestead beside a river was commissioned as a house portrait by the owner of the property. The location may be the Parramatta or the Georges River -- Manager, Original Materials Branch, Mitchell Library, June 2006 (notes on file)
