1879
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Footbridge, Worth is a 1879 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a lone figure standing on a rickety wooden bridge over shallow water. The person holds a rake, facing away, while ducks swim nearby. The bridge looks old, with uneven planks and rusty supports, and the water below is murky with reeds and ripples. The artist used simple lines to focus on the quiet scene, almost like a quick sketch. The bridge’s worn wood and the calm water suggest a moment frozen in time. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
