"The Travelling Companions" is an oil painting by the British artist Augustus Leopold Egg, completed in 1862. This work is notable for its detailed depiction of Victorian-era travel and the exploration of themes such as companionship, leisure, and the contrast between public and private spheres. The painting portrays two young women seated in a train compartment, with the interior of the carriage meticulously rendered to reflect the comforts and design of mid-19th-century railway travel.

Egg was a prominent member of the Victorian art scene and is often associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, though he was not an official member. His work frequently addressed social issues and moral narratives, and "The Travelling Companions" is no exception, subtly engaging with the changing roles of women in society and the new opportunities for mobility and independence afforded by technological advancements like the railway.

The composition of the painting is balanced and symmetrical, with the two women dressed in similar attire, each absorbed in her own activity—one reading and the other gazing out of the window. The window provides a view of the picturesque French Riviera, suggesting a leisurely and affluent lifestyle. The painting's attention to detail, from the fashion of the period to the accessories carried by the women, offers a rich visual context for understanding the social and cultural milieu of the time.

"The Travelling Companions" is held in the collection of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in England. It has been widely discussed in art historical literature for its representation of Victorian life and its subtle commentary on the era's social norms. The painting remains a significant example of Egg's artistic legacy and a valuable document of the period in which it was created.
