‘Autumn Morning’
Signed G.R., dated 1863
 
 
A finely painted oil on canvas depicting two figures walking beside a calm wooded river, surrounded by the rich tones of early autumn. The river reflects the dense foliage beyond, while the distant skyline emerges softly through the trees. Painted in 1863, the work captures the Victorian fascination with the quiet beauty of the English countryside, with careful attention given to light, atmosphere, and seasonal colour.
