Description
Depicts a hilly landscape with the blackened stumps of burnt trees. This scene, painted at Gallipoli between 18 and 21 February 1919 shows the battlefield with hills, gullies and ridges, stumps of burnt trees, and the Aegean Sea in the background. On the skyline the peak of The Sphinx is visible, with Malone's Gully running across the middle of picture. The image was probably painted from near No 2 Outpost during Lambert's visit to Gallipoli with the Australian Historical Mission.
