This artwork, called Bailed up by Tom Roberts, was made in 1895 using oil paint on a canvas. The artwork is based on a holdup by a gang of bush rangers robbing innocent civilians passing through the Australian outback in the 1860s.
This artwork will make the viewer feel like they’re in the 19th century.
The detail in this artwork really brings out the minor things like all the bushes, broken sticks and fallen down trees. It makes the setting look dehydrated and desolate.
The sandy dirt colours in this artwork really paint a picture of what it would be like in the Australian outback. All these tones make the artwork stand out from others artworks.
In this artwork it looks like Tom Roberts has used one brush stroke. The artwork would look better with more brush strokes and different size brushes.
Overall I think this is a very good painting and I recommend going to this website to see more of his artworks.
