Arteries of Great Britain: The Forth is a 1922 by William Walcot, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a bridge with lots of crisscrossing lines and supports over water. The background has faint outlines of hills or buildings, barely visible. The whole thing is drawn in quick, light strokes—almost like a sketchbook doodle. The artist focused on the bridge’s tangled metal beams, making them the star. The water below looks calm but is drawn with loose, wavy lines. Want to see more by this artist? Check out William Walcot (British, 1874–1943).
