Critical – Write a brief description of this painting of Ned Kelly. What do you think it is saying about Ned Kelly’s status in the 20th Century

The image in question seems to be a depiction of Ned Kelly’s use of his weapon being a shotgun, revealing a more threatening aspect of the outlaw. Combined with his gun is his posture revealing himself to be on caution with his hands on the gun aiming it.  Another observation is Kelly’s abstract black attire being his armor, a dichotomy to the lighter greenery representing the Australian wildlife, which is connotative with the 20^th century perceived Kelly as a missing outlaw during his time. The surrounding nature could imply that it was Kelly’s hiding space with there being no signs of civilisation with mountains and trees being present rather than towns or people. This imagery leads me to conclude that the 20^th century perceived Ned Kelly as somewhat dangerous outlaw to Australia in consequence to his weaponry that was difficult to find due to his hiding place surrounded, that I deduced from the scenery of nature.
