About this work

This sketch shows a stone bridge with a single tall arch over a river. The bridge has small statues on top of its supports, and a boat with stacked wood floats under the arch. In the distance, there’s a hill with a few buildings and trees. The artist focused on the bridge’s solid, simple shape—no fancy colors, just lines and shadows. The boat adds a quiet touch of everyday life. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
