Hand-coloured etching from the exhibition, Peter Kingston, at the State Library of NSW from June 2024.
The artist Peter Kingston (1943–2022) lived and worked at the edge of Sydney Harbour. After a childhood spent at Parsley Bay, he settled in Lavender Bay among a community of artists and friends. From there, he observed harbour ferries, Luna Park and the Sydney Opera House in all seasons and weather conditions. These were the subjects of his work.
