About the piece

Created in 1904, this work by American artist John Francis Murphy is a masterclass in Tonalism. The painting uses a unified, earthy palette and soft, textured brushwork to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation, focusing on a rustic fence corner and trees transitioning into their autumnal hues.
