Bridge is a 1916 ink by Jacoba van Heemskerck van Beest, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a simple scene of a bridge with two people walking across it. The shapes are bold and flat, like cut-out paper. The lines are sharp, and the whole image looks like it was carved into wood. The artist used black ink on light paper, making the shapes stand out. The bridge looks almost like a stage set, with straight lines and no shadows. Next, look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
