Bridge, Bakewell is a 1940 watercolor by Hagedorn, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a bridge, with a man standing on the left side. The bridge is constructed from stone and features five arches, with a streetlamp situated on top. In the background, trees and a large building are visible, set against a light-colored sky. A notable detail in the painting is the artist's use of watercolor to create a soft, dreamy effect. The brushstrokes are gentle, and the colors blend seamlessly together, adding to the overall sense of tranquility.
