This is another of the 20+ Henry King pics taken at the National Art Gallery of NSW that are in the Sydney PHM's collection...my guess is the pic might have been taken in ca. 1888-90, at about the same time as the other pics in this series...

 

trove.nla.gov.au/work/5579061 - 'Catalogue of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, with Illustrations, Drawn By E.L. Montefiore, Esq and Others', 1888...this catalogue helps identify some of the works that are now ex-collection...
