About this work

This painting shows a red wooden drawbridge over a narrow canal, with a small house behind it. Two people stand on the bridge—one in a dark coat, the other in lighter clothes. The water below reflects the bridge and the sky, and trees line the background. The bridge’s bright red color stands out against the muted greens and browns. The scene looks calm, with no signs of movement or activity. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this painting in person.
