"The Travelling Companions " By Augustus Leopold Egg is his very famous painting. The Travelling Companions is an 1862 oil-on-canvas painting by British artist Augustus Leopold Egg. It was one of the last paintings made by Egg before his death in 1863. It is held by Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, presented by the John Feeney Charitable Trust in 1956. It depicts two well-dressed women who are sitting facing each other in a cramped first-class railway carriage, almost like mirror images. The women may be sisters, or may represent two elements of the character of one woman. The women are dressed identically, in the same voluminous grey silk travelling clothes, with their fashionable hats on their laps. They are arranged symmetrically on seats to either side of the carriage window. The window has three parts, framing the view like a triptych. Neither woman seems to be paying any attention to the coastal scene, perhaps Menton in southern France, that can be seen below summery skies through the carriage window. The train is in motion, witnessed by the swinging tassel on window blind.
