Tom Roberts working on his famous painting "The Big Picture", officially titled "The Opening of the First Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia by His Royal Highness the Duke of Cornwall and York, 9 May 1901", in the Royal Exhibition Building, Carlton, 1903.
Roberts completed most of the painting at the Royal Exhibition Building Melbourne, but he (and the painting) travelled to London in March 1903 for the completion of the work, as many of the sitters lived there.
