Autumn Woodland

“Autumn Woodland” — by John Christen Johansen

Oil on canvas.

Signature in lower right corner, “J. C. Johansen, 1903”

The painting, done in 1903, having been on loan from the Proteus Club, was given to the Des Moines Women’s Club in 1947. Although Mr. Johansen preferred indoor subjects, this scene shows that he was also much at home in painting landscapes.
