Image title	This photograph is of Tom Roberts workiing on the painting the "Opening of the First Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia, convened in Melbourne on 9 May 1901". It was commissioned by the Australian Art Association Proprietary Ltd and later presented to King Edward VII. Widely known now as the 'Big Picture', it took Roberts over two years to complete. Roberts accepted the contract 29 May, 1901 but by August he had decided to double the size to include 250 portraits. In this photo Roberts can be seen at work in the Exhibition building which was his studio for most of the time it took to paint the picture. The painting was engraved by Goupil&Cie, in Paris, November 1903 and exhibited at the Royal Academy, the following year.Volume 4: Tom Roberts painting in Exhibition Building, Melbourne, the big picture of the Opening of the first Federal Parliament, 1901-1903. "The large canvas was worked on between September 1901 and November 1903 during which time Roberts worked in both Melbourne and London. In 1904, the Australian Government presented the painting to King Edward VII in gratitude for his son, the Duke of Cornwall and York (who later became King George V) performing the opening ceremony. The painting was hung in St James Palace London, from 1904 to 1957 and was returned on loan to Australia in 1958. It now hangs in Australia’s Parliament House in Canberra" A 2481/1 https://collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/record/nGm4AwBY
