"Approaching Autumn" is an oil painting by American artist Willard Leroy Metcalf (1858–1925), a prominent figure in American Impressionism. Created in 1922, this work exemplifies Metcalf's mature style and his fascination with the New England landscape, a subject that he returned to throughout his career. The painting captures the serene beauty of the changing seasons, with a particular focus on the subtle shifts in light and color that herald the onset of fall.

In "Approaching Autumn," Metcalf employs a soft, yet vibrant palette to convey the warmth of the fading summer sun and the coolness of the impending autumn. The composition is characterized by a harmonious blend of natural elements, with trees, foliage, and possibly a body of water rendered in a manner that emphasizes their textural qualities and the ephemeral nature of the moment. Metcalf's brushwork is loose and expressive, a hallmark of the Impressionist technique, which allows for a dynamic interplay between light and shadow.

The painting is a testament to Metcalf's ability to evoke mood and atmosphere, inviting viewers to experience the quiet anticipation of the changing season. "Approaching Autumn" is not only a reflection of Metcalf's personal affinity for the New England landscape but also an example of his contribution to the American Impressionist movement, which sought to capture the transient effects of light and color in the American countryside.

As a member of the Ten American Painters, Metcalf was instrumental in promoting Impressionism in the United States. His work, including "Approaching Autumn," has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums and is part of several prestigious collections. The painting stands as a significant piece within Metcalf's oeuvre, showcasing his enduring legacy as an artist who captured the spirit of America's natural environment with poetic grace and technical skill.
