Autumn leaves

A watercolour sketch by William Lionel Wyllie. A cluster of fallen leaves are depicted on the ground. The fallen leaves feature varying autumnal hues, including pale reds, yellows and browns. The ground on which the leaves are scattered is comprised of both pale green grass and brown mud. The composition showcases both broad expanses of colour as well as expressive and uneven brushwork. The bottom edge of the work has been torn and displays lightly sketched brushwork that does not correspond with the scene shown.
