October, cover illustration for Harper's Magazine

A woman in a flowing red gown sits on a stone ledge beside a young man crowned with leaves, who holds a basket of grapes while autumn-colored foliage fills the background. A fruit-and-leaf border frames the oil painting, and the word OCTOBER is lettered on the ledge in front of the figures.
