Artist, British, 1872 - 1949

The image shows a bridge over a dark body of water. The horizon line is barely visible beneath the bridge, and a patch of blue sky is seen. The bridge arches across the image, forming a tunnel in the center. Two figures are on top of the bridge, and a horse is near the entrance of the tunnel. The brushstrokes are dynamic, showing movement in the water and sky. The color palette is primarily black and white with touches of blue.
