Exquisite oil painting on board in a period timber frame.

Signed "McInnes" lower right. The title of the painting is inscribed verso.

Note: The title of the painting reads 'Kangaroo Ground' a suburb in Melbourne's north east. It is inscribed in pencil verso and has been partially over written with the word 'Kangaroos' presumably by another hand.

The painting has been professionally cleaned and has a small area of fine craquelure in the sky upper centre but is otherwise in very good condition for an oil of this  age. The frame is marked and worn.
