The image depicts a park bench, photographed through the left wrought-iron structure, whose curved embellishments form the left armrest. Through this decoration, the view opens up to the wooden seat and the opposite right armrest, which has the same design as the one we are looking through. The wood, once painted black, shows clear signs of weathering. In many places, the paint has chipped off, revealing the grey wood beneath. A single oak leaf rests on the seat of the bench. It occupies the centre of the image and, with its warm, autumnal hue, creates a striking contrast against the black-grey bench. The solitary leaf draws the viewer's attention.
Autumn leaf chose
to land on a bench—
solitary feast.
