The story behind the motif
Poster featuring the painting The Traveling Companions from 1862. The painting was created by Augustus Leopold Egg, who was a Victorian artist.
This painting creates a fascination, among other things, through its mirror image of identically dressed women. The women sit together in a cramped train compartment, from where you can look out over the sunlit coast near Meudon in southern France. One girl is resting and the other is reading from a book.
Egg was a member of The Clique - a group of artists formed by, among others, Richard Dadd in the late 1830s. Together with his friend Charles Dickens, he set up the "Guild of Literature and Art" - a philanthropic organization that sought to meet the financial needs of struggling artists and writers.
Artist: Augustus Leopold Egg | Created: 1862.
Frame not included.
