About this work

This painting, titled Autumn, depicts a woman in a dark dress sitting on the ground, surrounded by a pile of fruit and a scythe. To her right, a man is standing on a ladder, picking fruit from a tree. The scene is set in a natural environment, with trees and a body of water visible in the background. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of harmony and balance in the painting. The woman's dark dress contrasts with the vibrant colors of the fruit, while the man's ladder and scythe add a sense of movement and energy to the scene.
