About this work

This painting shows a quiet autumn scene with bare trees and a faint river. The colors are soft—pale yellows, browns, and a touch of green near the bottom. The sky is mostly empty, with just a few light strokes. The trees look simple but have a rough, sketchy feel, like they were painted quickly. The artist signed it in the corner, but the rest stays mysterious. If you like this kind of landscape, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more works like this.
