About the piece

Painted in 1908, Othon Friesz's 'Autumn Work' exemplifies the dynamic transition from Fauvism to a more structured Post-Impressionist style. The scene captures a group of figures harvesting in a lush landscape, rendered with a rich, jewel-toned palette of deep teals, warm oranges, and soft pinks that evokes the shifting light and labor of the autumn season.
