Title

Birches and Rail Fence in Autumn

Description

This piece shows three leafless birch trees (right) in front of a crooked rail fence with orange and yellow trees in the distance.

Creator

Bertha May Ingle

Date

Possibly c.1920: This is a recurring scene in Ingle's work, the trees are believed to be located on a relatives farm in Churchville. The scene is very similar to a piece that she did for the Perkins Bull collection in the 1920s that's where the date estimation comes from.
