From the collection of Brooklyn Museum
Autumn Foliage is a 1892 unspecified by Elizabeth Boott, a Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting features a close-up of tree branches and leaves in various shades of yellow, brown, and green. The leaves are scattered across the top half of the image, while the branches stretch down towards the bottom. The background is a mix of gray and brown hues. A notable detail is the way the light catches the leaves, creating a sense of depth and texture. The brushstrokes are visible, adding to the overall sense of movement and energy in the piece. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
