Author unknown, Landscape with bridge

watercolor, paper, size 27 x 35 cm in light passe-partout, monogrammed "RB" signed and dated p. d. "RB 1896"

Lightly and impressionistically painted watercolor impression with an image of a clump of trees by a creek with a sandy road leading over a wooden bridge. Good mastery of the watercolor technique indicates the professionalism of the painter, hiding under the monogram "RB," and the time of creation indicates an emerging interest in plein air painting, so important to the turn of the 20th century.
