C.J.W.R. was a watercolourist whose only known work features Melbourne circa 1841. There is suspicions that it may not have been painted in 1841 or even within Australia.
watercolourist, painted Collins Street East in 1841 (DG). Despite the seemingly urban title, this is a charmingly unspecific depiction of rural life in early Melbourne that may not have been made in Australia and/or done years later.
