The artwork titled “Late Autumn” is an oil-on-canvas landscape painting created by Isaac Levitan around the year 1896 in the Russian Federation. This piece, aligned with the Realism art movement, measures 59 by 91 centimeters.
The artwork depicts a serene landscape during late autumn. Dominated by muted and earthy tones, it captures the solemn and tranquil essence of the season. In the foreground, a haystack is visible, resting in an open field that appears to be partially reflective due to a shallow pool of water. The middle ground is filled with dense, dark foliage of trees, with hints of autumnal colors among them. The sky overhead is clouded, contributing to the overall subdued and contemplative atmosphere of the scene. The composition and use of color effectively convey the quiet beauty of the late autumn period, typical of Levitan’s mastery in landscape painting.
