1800
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
View of a bridge and shipping is a 1800 by John Sell Cotman, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a bridge with a large arch and a boat passing underneath. The bridge has a brown roof and a white wall on the left side. In the background, there are more boats and a blue sky with some clouds. The drawing is done in pencil and has a lot of details, like the texture of the bridge's stones and the ripples in the water. The artist used different shades of gray to create depth and make the scene feel more realistic. If you like this drawing, you might want to check out more works by the Romanticism movement.
