Descriptive catalogue of pictures, &c., in the art gallery of the International Exhibition Sydney, 1879–80, Sydney, [circa 1879], 23. Belgian Court. 13. "Flowers and Fruit" - J. Robie A picture which has no superior in the whole collection. A really magnificent work from the pencil of a born artist - the son of a blacksmith, who resorted to hard means for the purpose of restraining the young man from following the bent of his genius. The longer the composition is studied, the more you find in it to admire and please.
