In this painting Lambert set out to take a more formal approach to the Australian landscape, looking to reduce the landscape to definite forms.
 [Lambert] simplified the triangular mass of the hill and sharpened its outline and counterbalanced this with the strong verticals of the trees and the horizontal streak of green grass in the lower centre. Lambert painted with tight controlled brush strokes, so that the image seems still, but lifelike, with the trees and grass delineated by a sharp, scintillating light
Lambert described his portrayal of Ryrie as "like a figure on a Greek vase" passing "gracefully across the foreground".
