No. 19 AUTUMN MORNING BY .IlLES DUPHE No. 19 JULES DUPRE FRENCH1812-1889 AUTUMN MORNING By the margin of a silvery stream a man is mooring hisboat in the shade afforded by a clump of trees. From the low-lying bank a roadway leads across a green field to a couple ofhumble cottages in the middle distance. Beyond, the groundrises into a graceful, rounded hillside, which stretches acrossthe picture. Overhead the sky is a serene blue, with a heavybank of rolling cloud near the horizon, from behind which asun ray darts down, silvers the trunk of a tree in the fore-ground, and falling just behind the cottages, affords a brilliantnote of light among the prevailing low tones of the picture.The blue of the sky is reflected in the mirror-Iikc surface ofthe river, save where the dark green of the trees plunges thewater into semiobscurity.
