An engaging portrait of Annie McCubbin, by her husband Frederick McCubbin returns to the walls of Artspace for display in 2021. This disarming painting reveals a woman in her prime – in her early 40s – at a time she would have lived with McCubbin and their family at ‘the ‘Studio’ in South Yarra. Annie is at ease, peering from beneath a fashionable hat, as she sits for another of her husband’s many portraits.  

This work will be shown amongst an array of notable portraits from the Whitehorse Art Collection, together with portraits by community artists – of the famous and not so famous – by artists associated with the Box Hill Art Group or Whitehorse Arts Association.
