Sunset on the river

A river curves from the foreground into the distance, bordered on the right by a dense band of trees in full autumn color, their red, orange, and rust foliage reflected in the calm water. Golden-brown fields stretch away on the far bank, with a mossy rock outcrop framing the lower left corner of the view.

A warm, glowing peach-toned sky fills the upper half of the canvas, holding a pale sliver of crescent moon, and shifts to soft blue near the horizon. The autumn foliage is built up in warm reds and oranges against cooler green undertones, all rendered with smooth, blended brushwork that gives the whole scene a tranquil, glowing warmth typical of late-day light.
