It captures the fragile moment when nature slowly bids farewell to the warm colors of autumn and prepares for the arrival of winter. The author uses subtle transitions of blue, turquoise, and gray tones that evoke the cold and melancholy of autumn days.

The remnants of orange and gold leaves still clinging to the branches appear as the last flashes of warmth and light. The contrast between their bright colors and the cool shades of the background symbolizes the transition between two seasons (lively, colorful autumn and calm, white winter).

The composition is based on a subtly abstracted form of trees and branches silhouetted against a light background. The thin lines of the branches evoke the fragility and transience of nature, while the richer blue areas appear stable and evoke a sense of silence.

The painting has an introspective effect and evokes an atmosphere of contemplation. The viewer feels as if they are on the border between two worlds. They can still feel the warmth of the departing autumn, but are already touched by the cold and calm of winter. “Late Autumn” is thus not only a depiction of the landscape, but also a metaphor for time, the passage of time, and the inevitable changes in life.
