Autumnal Sorrows 1878

Frank O'Meara's "Autumnal Sorrows" (1878) depicts two women standing in a woodland setting near a stone bridge. The woman in black appears to be in mourning, creating a melancholic mood. The use of muted colors and a soft light contributes to the somber atmosphere of the painting, further emphasizing the theme of sadness. The painting highlights O'Meara's skill in capturing the beauty of nature while also conveying a sense of emotional depth. The work is a testament to the artist's sensitive and introspective approach to his art.
