See source: grimshaw painted at least one other november morning in 1883 (shipley art gallery, gateshead) which has a similar composition with a lone housemaid making her way to work with her basket of provisions. Both revel in the glory of a chill autumnal morning where the first glow of the waking sun has burnished the sky with its radiance. A symphony of russets, gold and pale moss greens the painting is a celebration of the colours of the dying year. Mist lingers in the damp air where the road sweeps round to the left. Object Type: painting. Date: 1883. Dimensions: height: 51 cm (20 in); width: 76 cm (29.9 in). Medium: oil on canvas. John Atkinson Grimshaw - A November Morning
