This sketch shows a stone bridge with five arches over a calm river. On the right bank, a wooden dock holds a few small boats tied up. Trees line the riverbanks, and a building with a sloped roof sits near the dock. The water looks still, and the whole scene is drawn in soft, muted tones. The boats have simple covers, and the bridge’s arches create a rhythmic pattern. The artist signed it in the corner, noting the year. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this watercolour in person.
