‘Elizabeth’s Garden II’ is a vision of tranquillity. Jeffery Makin, described by John Olsen as having “given [himself] to the landscape”, looks into his wife’s garden. He treats the domestic ecosystem with as much reverence as he does the grandness of the desert or rainforest. Shrubbery blooms up the page, cool and quiet.

Makin is represented across national, state and most regional collections, including at the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and Parliament House. For collectors seeking a moment of tranquillity or a bushwalk from home, ‘Untitled (Nude Standing in Water)’ is a captivating find.

For collectors of landscapes or admirers of gardens, ‘Elizabeth’s Garden II’ is a beautiful find.
