Story

A train pushes forward with smoke billowing into a hazy sky, its dark silhouette set against a distant cityscape rendered in deep browns and pale yellows, giving the scene an industrial, moody atmosphere. The piece is painted in oil on cedar panel, completed in 1889. Tom Roberts (1856–1931), an Australian painter associated with the Heidelberg School, also created the notable work A break away!.
