New Bridge, Durham is a 1788 by George Fennel Robson, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a stone bridge with three arches over a quiet river. Trees and bushes grow thickly on both sides, framing the scene. A few people walk along the path beside the water, and the sky is soft and hazy. The artist used careful lines to show light and shadow on the bridge’s stones. The trees look lush, almost wild, which makes the bridge seem old and part of nature. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up shading with layers of lines.
