Golden autumn light passing through the trees and illuminating the yellow leaves is captured beautifully with loose, painterly impressionist brushstrokes in this gorgeous early 1930's landscape. Initialed and dated "B. F. C. 31" in the lower right corner (partially obscured by frame). Tag on verso from the 1946-47 Society for Sanity in Art Annual Show.
