Rupert Chawner Wulsten Bunny (1864–1947) was an Australian painter renowned for his contributions to the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements. His work, "Idle Hours," is a quintessential example of his ability to blend the idyllic with the enigmatic, capturing the leisurely moments of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Painted in 1897, "Idle Hours" reflects Bunny's fascination with the themes of relaxation and the leisurely pursuits of the upper class, which were common motifs in his oeuvre.

"Idle Hours" is characterized by its lush, verdant landscape and the serene, almost dreamlike quality of its composition. The painting depicts a group of elegantly dressed women reclining and engaging in leisurely activities in a garden setting. Bunny's use of soft, diffused light and his meticulous attention to detail create a sense of tranquility and timelessness. The figures are rendered with a delicate, almost ethereal quality, emphasizing the leisurely and carefree nature of their activities.

Bunny's technique in "Idle Hours" showcases his mastery of color and form. The harmonious palette of greens, blues, and soft pastels enhances the painting's serene atmosphere, while the fluid, graceful lines of the figures and their surroundings reflect the influence of the Art Nouveau style. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged in a way that guides the viewer's eye through the scene, creating a sense of depth and movement.

"Idle Hours" is not only a testament to Bunny's technical skill but also to his ability to capture the essence of a moment. The painting invites viewers to step into a world of leisure and contemplation, offering a glimpse into the genteel lifestyle of the era. Today, "Idle Hours" is celebrated as one of Bunny's most significant works, exemplifying his unique artistic vision and his contribution to the development of Australian art.
