Description6 figures gathering fruit.Label TextIn Autumn, Kleiser followed a traditional way of depicting a season of the year. His scene used the labor associated with the season, harvesting food. This scene of fruit picking is, however, more a leisure activity than a laborious job. The well-dressed party enjoys a day outdoors. Members of the nobility partake of the bounty of Nature.
