This color palette not only evokes a sense of warmth, but also transports us directly to the place, causing us to feel as another observer of the scene.

The painting is emblematic of his time and a durable testament of Tom Roberts's talent to capture the essence of the place, time and people.
In summary, 'El Sur Solado' by Tom Roberts is a celebration of Australian impressionism and a work that perfectly captures the atmosphere and the experiences of his time. Its careful composition, use of color and detailed representation of people and landscape are testaments of Roberts's virtuosity. It is, without a doubt, a fundamental piece to understand not only the artist's work, but also the artistic movement to which it belongs. "
