Joseph Pennell

Artist, American, 1857 - 1926

The image depicts an expansive bridge structure with large stone arches viewed from underneath. Another arched bridge spans a river in the distance, partially visible through the openings of the nearer bridge. Lush greenery and hills can be seen beyond the river. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, capturing architectural details and road movement. The color palette includes earthy tones of brown and beige for the bridge, against greens and blues for nature, with soft greys for the sky. People and horse-drawn carriages can be seen traversing the road.
