The Wealth of Autumn

A dense still life of peaches, green and red grapes, a melon, and plums heaped over a stone ledge, with leaves spilling from a dark tree at upper right. Small putti or cherubs crouch in the shadowed foreground below, and a stormy sky opens over a distant hill at left.

Español: La riqueza del otoño

Un denso bodegón de melocotones, uvas verdes y rojas, un melón y ciruelas amontonados sobre un borde de piedra, con hojas que caen de un árbol oscuro a la derecha. Pequeños putti o querubines se agachan en el primer plano sombreado, y un cielo tormentoso se abre sobre una colina lejana a la izquierda.

Português: A riqueza do outono

Uma natureza-morta densa de pêssegos, uvas verdes e vermelhas, um melão e ameixas amontoados sobre uma borda de pedra, com folhas caindo de uma árvore escura à direita. Pequenos putti ou querubins agachados no primeiro plano sombreado, e um céu tempestuoso abre-se sobre uma colina distante à esquerda.
