Autumn Meadows

Albert Pinkham Ryder

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A white horse bends to drink from a small stream on the right side of a large, bare tree; the horse's body faces right. The stream runs from the left side of the image behind the tree. The horse has a thick neck and short mane. Its front legs are slightly bent. The tree has a thick trunk with several large branches; two large branches extend to the left and one upward. The ground around the tree and stream has shades of brown, yellow, and red foliage. In the background, there are trees on the right side and a field with a few trees and a house in the distance. The sky is cloudy and shades of gray, yellow, and white.
