School's Out

A single small figure in a red jacket and light-colored pants runs alone down a narrow lane, seen from behind, beneath bare and leaf-tufted trees rendered in gray-green. The lane is bordered by a long ochre-and-brown tiled wall or roofline on the right and dark wooden eaves on the left, with a tiled-roof building visible in the misty middle distance. The palette is dominated by muted browns, ochres, and grays with soft, blurred edges, giving the scene a hazy, overcast mood; the work is signed in pencil at lower right and numbered in the lower left margin. *School's Out*, Sarah Brayer, 2001, woodblock print.
