About the piece
Created around 1750 by Marten Jozef Geeraerts, this oil painting is a masterful example of 'witje'—a style of grisaille painting designed to look like a three-dimensional marble relief. The composition depicts five putti representing the Allegory of Autumn, shown with grapes, wine, and baskets of fruit. Its monochromatic palette and architectural quality make it a sophisticated choice for refined interiors.
