Mordialloc Creek captures a tranquil waterside scene with loose, expressive brushstrokes. The shimmering reflections, lush greenery and soft light evoke the peaceful charm of bayside Melbourne.
It was shown as part of Josephine’s retrospective exhibition at the Athenaeum Gallery in 1943. It was last sold for AU$1,400 in 2010.

Despite the left arm being ‘a little weak’, Girl Reading has been noted as a first-class example of Josephine’s work.
