Subject matter
This painting shows a lakeside on an autumn evening as the title suggests. Another Plein air painting like some of the other sketches in this album of 11 pages, the brushstrokes convey movement and the painting uses simple colors. The man in the boat could be a fisherman. 

Physical Description
This sketch depicts a lake, trees, a boat, and a man. Directly in main view in the center is a collection of about four trees directly on the coast of a large lake. As we move forward into the body of water, we see a boat and a man. Slightly toward the upper left of the page, a boat with a large sail appears to be moving left and a man in the boat also faces in the same direction. Beyond the boat is a collection of dark clouds. To the right is a two-line vertical inscription written in black ink. In the line closer to the center of the page is a red stamp following the inscription. Red, orange, and black are used in this painting.
