Nikolai Triik (1884–1940) was an Estonian painter and graphic artist, recognized as one of the most prominent figures in Estonian modernist art. His works often reflected the influences of Symbolism, Expressionism, and National Romanticism, and he played a significant role in shaping the development of Estonian art in the early 20th century. Among his notable works is the painting titled Sügisesed puud (translated as "Autumn Trees").

Sügisesed puud is a landscape painting that exemplifies Triik's ability to capture the mood and atmosphere of the Estonian countryside. The painting depicts trees in autumn, with their leaves turning shades of yellow, orange, and brown, evoking the transitional beauty of the season. The composition is characterized by its use of bold colors and expressive brushwork, which are hallmarks of Triik's style. The work reflects the artist's deep connection to nature and his interest in portraying the changing landscapes of Estonia.

This painting is often associated with the broader context of Estonian national identity during the early 20th century. At the time, Estonian artists were seeking to establish a distinct cultural identity through their work, and landscapes like Sügisesed puud became a way to celebrate the natural beauty of their homeland. Triik's focus on autumnal themes may also reflect a sense of introspection and the passage of time, which were common motifs in Symbolist art.

While specific details about the creation date or the current location of Sügisesed puud are not widely documented, the painting remains an important example of Triik's contribution to Estonian art. His works are preserved in various collections, including the Art Museum of Estonia, which houses many of his paintings and graphic works.

Nikolai Triik's legacy as a pioneer of Estonian modernism continues to be celebrated, and Sügisesed puud stands as a testament to his artistic vision and his ability to convey the emotional resonance of the natural world.
