Autumn c. 1895

"Autumn," painted by William Merritt Chase around 1895, depicts a serene landscape with a hazy, bluish sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The focal point is a vast expanse of golden grass, hinting at the changing season. In the distance, a hint of a coastline with sparse vegetation emerges, suggesting a coastal view. Chase's masterful use of color, light, and brushwork creates a sense of tranquility and the fleeting beauty of autumn.
