Autumn 12 - 1794

"Autumn", an anonymous print from 1794, depicts a romantic encounter between a gentleman and lady, likely a couple. The scene is set in a picturesque wooded landscape, with a distant view of hunters and dogs, reflecting a common pastime of the era. This print, characteristic of late 18th-century English culture, uses vibrant colors and graceful figures to portray the beauty of nature and the allure of courtship. The couple's elegant attire and the inclusion of a pineapple, a symbol of wealth and luxury, speak to the affluent class they represent. This print exemplifies the style of romanticism in art.
