About this work

This painting shows a small bridge over a stream. Two people stand on the bridge, looking toward a big tree. The water is calm, and the trees are green but soft, like they’re painted quickly. The brushstrokes are loose and watery, giving the scene a light, dreamy feel. This style was common in early 1800s watercolors. Want to see more work like this?
