Rare watercolour by Ernest Warner, Warner and his wife travelled in a caravan around New South Wales and Victoria in the 1930s painting and sketching material for his etchings. Ernest Warner was one of Australia’s foremost etchers,  and these rare watercolours are testament to his wonderful draughtsmanship and love of the Australian landscape and people. His work is held in most institutional collections in Australia.
