Allen B. Talcott

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Oil painting of a landscape titled "Return of the Redwing" by Allen B. Talcott. The scene depicts a grassy area covered in spots of green and brown with some sparse green and red-leafed trees scattered throughout. Trees line the background with a mix of brown and green foliage. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The painting's focal point appears to be a body of water in the foreground. The water's edge has bare trees and patches of brown and orange vegetation. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner. The overall color palette consists of earth tones such as greens, browns, and grays.
