The Bridge, Schleissheim

Otto H. Bacher

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil sketch on light brown paper with darker brown edges. The sketch shows a bridge spanning a body of water, with trees on either side. The bridge has railings and appears to be made of wood. The trees on the right side are more densely packed and taller than those on the left. The body of water below the bridge reflects the trees and bridge. The sketch has a border drawn around it. There is a handwritten note at the bottom of the sketch. The note reads: "This bit in foreground or may not be - the edging very much larger and successfully bottom". The note is written in cursive. The overall atmosphere of the sketch suggests a serene natural setting. The sketch appears to be titled "The Bridge, Schleissheim" and attributed to Otto H. Bacher.
