Painted directly outdoors on 16 October, the work captures yellow trees holding onto their last leaves before the arrival of winter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAutumn in the region of Vaud is marked by a brief period of extraordinary transformation. The vineyards, lakeshores and hillsides surrounding Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) shift into luminous shades of gold, amber and ochre before the colours gradually fade. These moments are especially fleeting, as wind, rain and colder temperatures quickly strip the branches and alter the landscape.

The remaining leaves seem to glow against the cooler atmosphere of late autumn, creating a contrast between warmth and the approaching stillness of winter. Rather than focusing on botanical detail alone, the work explores the emotional sensation of witnessing a season reach its final stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe title \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLast Leaves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e refers not only to the physical landscape but also to the fragile beauty of temporary things.
