More about this artwork
"Indian Summer" by Marie Egner is a splendid exhibition of the artist's adept skill with still life compositions. This painting brims with the delicate richness of autumn, showcasing an elegantly arranged medley of seasonal flora. A classic dark urn serves as the centerpiece, overflowing with a bountiful assortment of fall's finest offerings: crisp leaves in shades of amber and russet, captivating wildflowers, and clusters of ripe berries rest against a moody, textured backdrop that truly accentuates their vibrant colors.Additional elements, such as a draped fabric and a casually placed open book, invite viewers into a moment of quiet contemplation, suggesting the fleeting beauty of the season and perhaps the melancholic turn towards winter. Egner’s mastery in textures and detail shines through with the realistic depiction of light playing on the surfaces of the leaves and petals, as well as the fruit's glossy skins.

Marie Egner was an Austrian painter.
Egner was born on 25 August 1850 in Bad Radkersburg, Austria. She took her first drawing lessons in Graz with Hermann von Königsbrunn, then went to Düsseldorf from 1872 to 1875, where she studied with Carl Jungheim. In 1882, she went to Vienna to live with her mother, but spent her summers at the art colony in Plankenberg Castle, near Neulengbach, where she took lessons with Emil Jakob Schindler until 1887. A study trip to England followed from 1887 to 1889. Shortly after, her first exhibition was held at the Vienna Künstlerhaus. She also exhibited in Germany and England.
