Holiday sketch at Coogee is a 1894 oil by Thomas Roberts, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a serene beach scene, with a calm body of water stretching across the center. In the foreground, a few trees and bushes are scattered, while people are gathered on the shore, some standing and others sitting. The sky above is a soft, pale hue. A closer look reveals the subtle play of light on the water's surface, with gentle ripples and reflections adding depth to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and leisure, capturing a moment of relaxation on a sunny day. This painting invites you to explore the works of artist Tom Roberts.
Thomas William Roberts (8 March 1856 – 14 September 1931) was an English-born Australian artist and a key member of the Heidelberg School art movement, also known as Australian impressionism.
