Painted in 1968, just a year after Hart transitioned from mining to full-time painting, it vividly portrays the dynamic life under the relentless Australian sun.

Pro Hart, an iconic figure in Australian art, utilized expressive brushwork to enchant, narrate, and communicate rural life. "Rounding up Sheep" exemplifies his signature style—richly colored, textured, and imbued with captivating moments waiting to be discovered.
