Old Foot-bridge, Banks of the Small Morin (Vieille passerelle, bords du petit morin) is a 1915 ink by Auguste Lepère, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a serene landscape of a footbridge spanning a small river. The bridge is old and weathered, with wooden planks and a railing that appears to be leaning slightly to one side. The river flows gently beneath it, reflecting the surrounding trees and foliage. In the foreground, tall grasses and plants grow along the riverbank, while a few trees stand sentinel on the opposite side of the river. The sky above is a soft, muted gray, with a few wispy clouds drifting lazily across it. The overall effect is one of peaceful tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the idyllic scene.
