Landscape with Bridge is a 1850 by David Cox, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet river scene with two people standing on a rocky bridge. The water flows fast beneath them, and the bridge arches over it. In the distance, there’s a castle on a hill and trees lining the riverbank. The sky is soft with light clouds, and the whole scene looks a little misty. The artist used quick, loose lines to show the rocks and water, giving it a sketchy feel. The bridge and castle feel old and simple, not overly detailed. If you like this style, look up David Cox for more of his drawings.
A drawing by David Cox from 1850 depicts a landscape featuring a bridge, possibly Rhaiader Bridge.
