Winter's Morning Frederick McCubbin

In 1886, McCubbin was appointed as a drawing master at the National Gallery School. The same year he presented himself as a painter in Self portrait (1886), which reflected his feelings of pride and professional accomplishment. The appointment was also personally significant since the secure income allowed McCubbin to marry and stay in Australia. He got married in 1889, and over the following 17 years, the pair had seven children. In 1901, McCubbin bought a cottage at Mount Macedon that he named ‘Fountainbleau,’
