About the piece

Painted in 1915, 'Morning in October' by John Francis Murphy exemplifies the Tonalist movement's focus on atmosphere and mood. The work features a hushed landscape of autumn fields and skeletal trees, brought to life through a sophisticated palette of warm neutrals and visible impasto texture that lends a tactile quality to the print.
