About the piece

Painted in 1917 by American Tonalist John Francis Murphy, 'Early Autumn' exemplifies the artist's ability to evoke atmosphere through a restricted palette of gold, ochre, and sage. The composition centers on a solitary tree standing against a vast, hazy sky, while a distant farmhouse with a smoking chimney adds a sense of peaceful rural life.
