Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1890s.
The crunch of Autumn peppers a winding track as windswept trees lean, partially bereft. Golden tones and tinted foliage enlivened with a brilliant sky. The light, bright enough to squint, radiating into a distant haze.
Bristow was a remarkable woman. Determined, fearless and pioneering.
This is a fine example of her work. The use of colour, rhythm and expression perfectly capturing her unique and boundless personality.
