This exquisite 18th century drawing, titled "South View of Sydney-Cove," is a captivating glimpse into the early days of European exploration and settlement in Australia. The image is part of the esteemed Watling Collection, which showcases the work of a Port Jackson painter active between 1788 and 1797. The view depicted in this drawing looks across Sydney Cove towards the wooded northern shore, offering a picturesque scene of the area as it appeared during the early years of European settlement. The entrance to Pitts Row, with its general spring, is located on the eastern side of the cove, providing a sense of context and scale to the image. The drawing captures the natural beauty of the landscape, with trees lining the shore and the clear blue waters of the cove reflecting the sunlight. The intricate details of the trees, their leaves a vibrant green, and the textured bark of the trunks, add depth and dimension to the illustration. This historic drawing provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the early days of Australian exploration and settlement. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the area, which continues to draw visitors from around the world. The drawing is a testament to the artistic talent of the Port Jackson painter, who captured the essence of the scene with remarkable skill and precision.
