Artist, active early 20th century

The image shows a stone arch bridge from a lower angle, framing the view beyond. The bridge obscures the horizon, focusing on the structures and landscape beneath it. Below the bridge is a riverbed with rocks and a shallow water pool reflecting surroundings. In the distance past the bridge, there are rustic buildings with tiled roofs nestled against greenery. The scene is detailed, capturing the texture of the stone and the tones of the buildings. The color palette blends earthy greys and soft pastels of the structures complemented by greens of the surrounding trees.
