"Autumn in Lexington, " Color-Drenched Drawing for "Four Seasons" Mural
About the Item
Highly atmospheric and drenched in lovely color, this drawing showing farmers piling pumpkins and men walking off to the hunt, set off by the purple hills behind, was made by Aiden Lassell Ripley, probably as a preparatory piece for his famous "Four Seasons" mural, now in the Cary Memorial Library in Lexington, Massachusetts. Ripley is best known for his sportsman paintings, highly collectible today, but early in his career he became known for his murals, including several depicting the life of Paul Revere for the post office in Lexington, Massachusetts, and another for the Winchester public library. This drawing is executed in Conté crayon and watercolor on paper.
