Old bridge at Windsor, coach and horsemen crossing, and a barge passing under is a 1750 watercolor by Paul Sandby, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a busy river scene with a wooden bridge packed with horse-drawn carriages and riders. On the water, a small boat carries two people, while others stand or sit near the shore. The buildings on the right look old and wooden, with one large house on stilts over the water. The artist used soft, light colors and kept details simple, focusing on everyday life. The bridge looks temporary, with ropes holding it up, and the river is calm. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
