This plein air work was painted around the time that Jane Price became one of the founding members in Sydney of the Society of Women Painters. She produced many works of Sydney Harbour; of the Heads, and various activities on the water. She was particularly interested in capturing the effects of the sunlight and moonlight on the Harbour, and the changes in the light on the water at different times of the day and night.
