''Shearing the Rams'' is an iconic oil painting by Australian artist Thomas William Roberts, commonly known as Tom Roberts, completed in 1890 during the period known as the Australian Heidelberg School movement. The painting is a striking representation of rural Australian life and captures the essence of the shearing season, a pivotal and arduous time in the pastoral industry. Roberts, a central figure in Australian Impressionism, sought to depict the reality and vigor of the country's working conditions, and ''Shearing the Rams'' is a testament to his commitment to portraying the Australian landscape and its inhabitants with authenticity and respect.

The work measures 122.4 x 183.3 cm and is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. It was painted at Brocklesby sheep station in New South Wales, where Roberts spent several weeks observing and sketching the shearers at work to ensure the accuracy and dynamism of the final piece. The composition showcases shearers bent over their tasks in a rhythmic, almost choreographed manner, with the woolly rams rendered in meticulous detail, emphasizing the tactile quality of their fleece.

Roberts' use of natural light and shadow, combined with his impressionistic brushwork, creates a vivid scene that is both heroic and ordinary, celebrating the hard work and skill of the shearers. The painting is considered a masterpiece of Australian art and is notable for its nationalistic themes, as it reflects the burgeoning sense of Australian identity and pride in the late 19th century. ''Shearing the Rams'' has been widely analyzed for its cultural, historical, and artistic significance and remains a key work in understanding the development of Australian art and the representation of the country's rural heritage.
