About the piece

Painted in 1880 by John George Brown, this charming oil on canvas captures a group of children enjoying the fruits of a cider mill. The warm, golden light filtering through the leaves highlights the rich autumnal palette and the artist's masterful attention to texture and character, typical of American genre painting.
