"Gathering Firewood" is a notable painting by the Australian artist Henry James Johnstone, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Johnstone, born in Birmingham, England, in 1835, emigrated to Australia in 1853, where he became a prominent figure in the Australian art scene. He is best known for his landscape paintings, which often depict the serene and picturesque aspects of the Australian countryside.

"Gathering Firewood" exemplifies Johnstone's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the natural beauty of the environment. The painting portrays a tranquil rural scene, where a figure, presumably a woman, is engaged in the humble task of collecting firewood. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figure placed slightly off-center, drawing the viewer's eye into the depth of the landscape. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights Johnstone's skill in rendering the subtleties of natural light, creating a sense of realism and immediacy.

The background of the painting features a dense forest, with towering trees that add a sense of scale and majesty to the scene. The foliage is rendered with intricate brushwork, showcasing Johnstone's dedication to capturing the textures and forms of the natural world. The muted color palette, dominated by earthy tones and greens, enhances the painting's serene and contemplative mood.

"Gathering Firewood" is a testament to Johnstone's ability to find beauty in everyday activities and his talent for depicting the Australian landscape with both accuracy and artistic sensitivity. The painting is a valuable piece of Australia's artistic heritage, reflecting the country's rural life and natural beauty during the period in which Johnstone worked. Today, it remains an important work for understanding the development of Australian art and the contributions of immigrant artists like Johnstone to the nation's cultural history.
