Autumn

ca. 1881–92

Not on view

"Autumn" was painted sometime after 1881, when the artist returned from Europe, and before 1892, when the painting was placed on deposit at the Museum. It most likely dates from the late 1880s or early 1890s when Jones, working in the Barbizon style, favored landscape scenes representing the mood of a season or time of day rather than the appearance of a specific locale.
