The Little Bridge

Jacob van Ruisdael

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Little Bridge by Jacob van Ruisdael: A black and white drawing of a rustic scene. The scene features a dilapidated wooden house with a steeply pitched roof, partially obscured by trees and bushes on the left side. The house has two stories, with a door on the bottom floor and a window on the top floor. In the foreground, a large tree branch lies on the ground. A small bridge spans a body of water on the right side, with a person and a dog crossing it. The background shows a cloudy sky with birds flying in the distance. The entire scene is rendered in dark lines on a light-colored background.
