Description

Painting This landscape depicts a curving forest path with trees and shrubs painted in rich autumn colours, although there are spots of bright yellow which seem to signal spring. It is perhaps an earlier painting of Jackson's, a Modernist work, but not as spare as his later landscapes. The date and location are unknown.
