A break away!

The picture shows a classic Australian rural setting with a rider on horseback. The rider, dressed in typical country attire, is chasing a flock of sheep that seem to be scattered in confusion in a dry, dusty landscape. Trees and shrubs are scattered throughout the scene, while subtle silhouettes of buildings can be seen on the horizon. The air is filled with dust, giving the scene a sense of heat and biscuit typical of the Australian outback. The colours are warm, dominated by gold and brown tones.

Thomas William Roberts (1856-1931) was an Australian Classicist artist. He was born in Dorchester, England into an editorial family. In 1869, however, the family moved to Australia, where they lived with relatives. Between the years 1903-1914, when he painted few paintings, he worked as a frame maker, which was behind most of his income. In Melbourne, Roberts briefly worked as a photographer. Among his famous works are Shearing of Rams, inspired by a visit to a sheep farm. He preferred to paint ordinary Australians at work. Many of his paintings were landscapes, such as the Camp at Sirius Cove. In the 1890s, he married Elizabeth Williamson, with whom he had a son. During World War I, he helped in a hospital in England. In 1928, he was widowed and three years before his death, he married his second wife.
