Bridge in Moonlight is a 1900 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a bridge at night with a large, dark oval shape in the water below—maybe a reflection or a shadow. The buildings behind it are simple, with rough lines and no detail. The whole scene feels loose and quick, like it was drawn fast. The artist left big patches of blank paper, almost like they were more interested in shapes than details. The nighttime setting makes the whole thing feel quiet and mysterious. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
Otto Henry Bacher (May 31, 1856, Cleveland - August 16, 1909, Bronxville, New York) was an American artist; primarily known for his etchings and illustrations. He also painted oils in a variety of genres.
