Bridge at Monmouth, with St. Mary's Church in the background is a 1760 watercolor by Michael 'Angelo' Rooker, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet river scene with a wooden bridge crossing over it. A few people walk across, while a woman in a white dress stands by the water with two dogs. In the background, a church with a tall steeple and some small houses sit on a hillside. The soft, pale colors and gentle brushstrokes give it a calm, dreamy feel—typical of the time it was made.
