Reason

It was the first painting by an Australian-born artist to go on display at London's Royal Academy, and also the first Australian work to win an award at the Paris Salon. In 1995, it was acquired by the National Gallery of Australia for $3.5 million, then a record price for an Australian painting.[source]
