The Wooden Bridge at Sulmona near Tivoli

About this work

This etching shows a quiet river scene with a small wooden bridge crossing over it. Trees line both sides of the water, their branches heavy and detailed. A few people walk along the path near the bridge, while the background has rolling hills and a distant waterfall. The artist used fine lines to show texture—notice how the water looks smooth yet the trees have sharp, defined edges. This was a common way to create depth in etchings.
