About this work

This painting shows a quiet river scene with a bridge crossing over calm water. Bright orange leaves fall from a tree in the foreground, while a church and buildings sit softly in the background. The colors are simple—greens, blues, and warm autumn tones—with loose brushstrokes that feel quick and fresh. The artist focused on light and movement, especially in how the leaves scatter across the scene. The river reflects the sky, making everything feel still yet alive.
