The Bridge of Alcantara at Toledo is a 1870 watercolor by Alfred East, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows an old stone bridge with arches and a tower in the middle. People walk along the bridge and through an archway below. The background has hills and a few trees, painted in soft, warm colors. The artist used loose brushstrokes to capture light and shadow quickly. The watercolor looks a bit faded, like it’s been around for a while. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
