Kitchen at the Old King Street Bakery 1884

"Kitchen at the Old King Street Bakery" is an oil painting by Australian artist Frederick McCubbin completed in 1884. It depicts the interior of a bakery kitchen, capturing a sense of domesticity and everyday life. The composition is dominated by the large fireplace, while a table with a window view and a chair add depth to the space. The painting's realistic details, including the kitchen implements and the wood-burning stove, provide a glimpse into the daily routines of a working bakery in 19th-century Australia. This work exemplifies McCubbin's focus on portraying the lives of ordinary people and their working environments.
