Hillside in Autumn is a 1884 oil by Marcus Waterman, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting shows a hillside in autumn, with trees in the background and three people in the foreground. The people are standing on a path, and the trees are bare, with no leaves. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray. The painting has a lot of texture, with thick brushstrokes and visible paint. The artist used a lot of oil paint to create the scene, and it's clear that they wanted to capture the feeling of being in nature.
