Evening, Little Waterloo Bridge

About this work

This sketch shows a bridge with five arches crossing a river at dusk. The water looks calm, with faint ripples, and the bridge’s stone arches stand out against the dim sky. On the left bank, a few people and horses are scattered near the water’s edge, their forms loose and quick. The artist used light pencil strokes to suggest movement and fading light. The bridge’s details are simple but clear, while the background blurs into shadow. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
