Automne (Autumn). c. 1938. Aquatint print in colors. Chapon/Rouault 288C. 19 1/2 x 25 1/2 (sheet 22 5/8 x 30 3/4). Edition 175, #58. Published by Vollard. A rich impression with bright, fresh colors printed on watermarked Montval paper, on the full sheet with deckle edges. Signed in ink, numbered in pencil.

Rouault returned to the theme of Autumn, and used it in a large lithograph and then this large aquatint. It is the most impressive of his secular fine prints.

Bathers were a popular subject in French Impressionist art.
