Autumn

Autumn, a 1917 painting by Maurice Prendergast, is housed in The Phillips Collection. The artwork depicts a vibrant outdoor scene, possibly a park or garden, filled with numerous figures. The figures are rendered in a Post-Impressionistic style, with short, visible brushstrokes creating a textured surface. The people are dressed in a variety of colorful clothing, and many wear hats. The scene is dominated by a collection of trees with richly colored foliage, suggesting an autumnal setting. The background hints at a body of water and a distant shoreline. The overall effect is one of lively movement and rich color, characteristic of Prendergast's style. The painting's dimensions are 0.03213 meters wide and 0.0225 meters high.
