Along the River Murray is a limited-edition collotype print by Australian artist Kenneth Jack, hand-signed and dated 1983 in pencil on the lower margin.<\/p>\n
A paddle steamer moves through calm water beside a riverbank lined with mature gum trees. Exposed roots, branching trunks and reflections create a richly observed landscape, combining the natural character of the Murray with its paddle-steamer history.<\/p>\n
Muted blue-grey water and warm earth colours give the composition an atmospheric presence. Its substantial frame and textured mount make it an attractive statement piece for a living room, study or collection of Australian landscape art.<\/p>\n
