"Fossicking For Gold In A Gully, Creswick" is an evocative painting by the Australian artist Walter Withers, created in the late 19th century.

The figures in the painting are depicted with a sense of realism and toil, highlighting the arduous nature of their work.

The composition of the painting draws the viewer's eye along the gully, creating a sense of depth and immersion in the scene. Withers' attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the Australian landscape make this painting a significant work in his oeuvre and a valuable piece of Australia's artistic heritage.
