About this work

A watercolor shows a quiet stone bridge over a river. Trees frame the scene in soft greens and blues. Light dances on the water below. Hassam used loose brushstrokes to keep the scene feeling fresh. He painted this while staying in a small French village called Grez-sur-Loing. The colors feel light, like a sunny afternoon. Look up the same artist next. Search for Hassam, Childe.
