This etching titled "Gevecht tussen inwoners van Nieuw Holland op een natuurlijke brug over een rivier" by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, depicts a scene of conflict between indigenous Australians. The print showcases a dramatic landscape with a natural bridge formed by two large rocks spanning a river, where the figures engage in a fierce struggle. Arago, a renowned artist and explorer, captured the rugged beauty of the Australian outback and the dramatic interaction of the indigenous inhabitants. This work is a significant example of early European depictions of Aboriginal culture and serves as a valuable historical and artistic record.
