seen from a high angle looking steeply down, one girl with deep brown skin stands alone on a path in an autumn grove, her face lifted straight up at the camera with chin raised and her eyes meeting the lens through the framing, both hands clasped loosely behind her back so her shoulders pull back and her chest opens toward the light; the crown of her head and the two black buns pinned high on either side of it face the camera, a few loose strands slipping free and crossing her forehead, and the porcelain dress falls in a blue-and-white bell below her, its painted chrysanthemum-and-scroll pattern stretching and curving over the shoulder seams and gathering into tight pleats near the hem, the fabric caught between wind and weight so the skirt swings slightly to her left. She stands on a ground entirely carpeted in fallen autumn leaves — maple and oak, ochre, rust and dull gold — with the toes of her shoes half-buried and a few red leaves stuck flat against the damp blue fabric of the hem; two of the nearest leaves lie cupped side-up holding a bead of water, the rest lie face-down and matte. Autumn trees crowd the top edge of the frame, their branches foreshortened by the steep downward view into thick rust-red and amber masses, and thin trunks recede in perspective along the path behind her, each shorter and paler than the last. Low, warm late-afternoon sun rakes in from the upper right and threads between the trunks, striking the upward-tilted planes of her face, the tops of the buns and her collarbones, while her features and the folds under her chin fall into soft shadow; the leaf-strewn ground throws a wide, ragged, branch-fragmented shadow behind her toward the lower left. The palette stays in three registers only — warm rust, ochre and amber in the trees and leaves, cool blue-and-white in the dress, deep brown in her skin and hair. Clear, crisp, sunlit and gently tender.
