<p>East planned to exhibit this calm autumn landscape. He adopted a low horizon and painted at a large scale so it feels like the viewer could step into the scene. As with many of his landscape paintings, the scene is a generalised one, appealing to a broad audience. The title reveals his focus on mood and the season rather than place, although the trees and colours make it look like a very British autumn scene. East was one of the most acclaimed landscape painters of his time.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2020</em></p>
