About the piece

Painted in 1900, Émile Barau’s 'Sun of October' is a masterful example of French landscape painting. The work depicts a woman tending to her garden in the soft light of an autumn afternoon, framed by the rustic architecture of an ivy-covered cottage and towering poplars. Its warm, atmospheric palette and peaceful subject matter evoke a sense of timeless tranquility.
