Autumn in the Country
| Description: |
The painting depicts a house with a buggy driving past on the road in front of the house. The landscape around the house and road is light green with small bushes in various shades of green, orange, yellow, and red and includes three trees surrounding the house with yellow, red, and orange gradients of leaves. The house is a mixture of white with light blue highlights and includes a brown roof, a large set of four windows facing the road on the first floor, a singular window facing the road on the second story, a brick chimney on located on the roof near the back of the house, and a small front porch with three beams and two steps leading to the front lawn. The front side of the house near the set of four windows from ground to rood has a large vining flower with white and blue flowers and green leaves/vine stems. The front of the house has pink flowers in the flower bed underneath the set of four windows. There is a woman in blue dress waving to the buggy on the road from the porch. The buggy is black with two sets of seats with a light brown horse with white highlights pulling. The horse is facing towards those looking at the painting allowing those looking to see its black blinders. The buggy has a man in a white shirt and blue pants, and a boy in a brown shirt in the front seat driving the buggy. Both males are wearing the classic black hat worn by the Amish. In the second row of seats, a woman in a blue dress holds a girl in a pink dress and bonnet. The title of the painting Autumn in the Country is located in the bottom center of the painting in dark brown. Schrocks signature is in the bottom left underneath a light green bush in the same shade of dark brown as the title. |
