Menzies is delighted to present A Summer Field c1905 by Sir Arthur Streeton for private sale.

A classic Impressionistic composition, A Summer Field invites comparison with one of the artist’s most famous paintings, Golden Summer, Eaglemont 1889, in demonstrating Streeton’s lifelong affinity with the subject of the landscape in summer.

Painted following Streeton’s arrival in London in 1897, the picture is redolent of harvest, fruitfulness and debilitating heat, whilst containing the subtle suggestion of a poet’s effortless languor.
