Goat on a small Bridge is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a serene landscape with a small bridge spanning a narrow stream, which flows from the left foreground to the right background. A goat stands on the bridge, while a figure in the distance is engaged in an activity, possibly fishing or washing. The scene is set amidst trees and rocks, with a large boulder in the right foreground. The artist's use of etching creates a sense of texture and depth, adding to the overall atmosphere of the piece. The contrast between the light and dark areas of the etching adds to the sense of volume and dimensionality.
