Autumn is a 1865 watercolor by Frederick ARA Walker, a british_romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Frederick Walker painted *Autumn* in 1865 as a watercolour. It’s part of a pair—Spring shows a girl with primroses. Here, a woman stands alone holding an apple. Walker ties the season to human life, maybe hinting at lost love. The apple nods to the biblical Tree of Knowledge. Check out the other half, *Spring*, at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
