About the piece

Painted in 1888 during the height of the Pont-Aven school, this work by Émile Bernard demonstrates the artist's move toward Synthetism. The composition utilizes flattened planes of color and bold rhythmic lines to depict a French country house framed by the vibrant, golden-orange leaves of autumn. The lush green lawn and soft light create a grounding, pastoral atmosphere characteristic of late 19th-century French landscape art.
