Darwin
This oil sketch on paper of a landscape including Fort Point, Port Darwin, illustrates the main camp of the Northern Territory Survey Expedition (1868-1870). This work is naive in comparison to other works painted by the same artist from this group. Hoare has composed this scene from an offshore vantage point, perhaps from a boat. The main focus of the work is a large, tree covered plateau, which is very close to the shoreline. This area is crowned with what is most likely an english flag attached to a tall pole. To the left, sheltered by the land mass is a camp of approximately a dozen white tents, pitched in front of a few, more permanent timber structures. To the far right, on a narrow beach at the bottom of the plateau and possibly included to represent scale, are tiny figures and horses. They appear to be preparing to load or unload a vessel by the jetty. To the left, the artist has included a figure driving a horse and cart on the beach.
