Tom Roberts (1856-1931) has been called the father of Australian Impressionism. The most versatile of its great painters, his works have been shown in more of Australia's public galleries than any other artist. Paintings like "Shearing the rams" (1888-1890) and "Golden Fleece" (1894) are two examples of his large pieces that have become icons of the country's cultural identity.

The first few assays concentrate on the artist himself including his place in art in Australia and the progress of his career. The remainder concern themselves more specifically with various aspects of his work including portraits and a very short one on etchings. Three essays each discuss a particular painting or two: Shearing the Rams 1888-90 / The Golden Fleece 1894; A Break Away! 1891; Bailed Up 1895-/1927.
There are around 100 full-colour images mostly up to full page size, occasionally there are two to a page, and there are a few double page spreads; the total includes several detail mages of selected paintings. The colour plates are arranged to accompany the relevant essay, and one appears on each right-hand page throughout the essays. The range of work includes impressionist style landscapes, portraits, people working, scenes of London and a still life. The Catalogue section also includes black and white thumbnails of the paintings. A handsome well produced hardcover book, the front and back cover of which each caries a picture of a painting ( )
