James Robert Hutchings (1872-1962) migrated from England in 1863 to Hobart. He painted oil landscape across Tasmania, New Zealand and the east coast of Australia. He produced a number of works in the Blue Mountains. He also worked as a scenery painter for the Tivoli Theatre. He did not achieve the recognition of artists in the Heidelberg school and his themes were directed more to the lush forestlands and waterways than the hinterland of Australia.

James Hutchings(1872-1962) had a long career in Australia after migrating from England in his early years. His lush, eye-catching landscapes differ from the Heidelberg style popular early in the 20th Century. This work is in as-new condition and may have been reframed in the past. Ready to hang.

This painting is unsigned and is marked verso as by 'Hutchins'. I believe this may be a slight typographic error made at the time of framing (or reframing) and that James Robert Hutchings (1868-1942) is the most likely artist. This work is well executed and completely in keeping with Hutchings style. The place of painting in Blue Mountains is in keeping with other works of similar type he did in the region. The picture and frame are in impeccable condition. The rear label also indicates a previous retail price of $375. I will stay close to this price although with full authentication I believe it would fetch more.
