About this work

You see a landscape with bare trees and a small figure in the grass. The trees are almost bare, showing the change from autumn to winter. The artist also added a tiny figure, possibly himself, in the corner of the painting. Look up the technique of impasto to learn more about how artists like John Henry Twachtman create textured scenes.
