A Stone Bridge

Herman van Swanevelt

National Gallery of Art

The etching depicts a landscape from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The horizon line is above the center, with distant mountains. An arched stone bridge spans horizontally, reflecting in the water below. Two figures are on the bridge, with detailed clothing. A path on the left leads up a hill, with trees and a tall structure with figures. Lush vegetation surrounds the bridge, with mountains in the background and a sky textured with horizontal lines suggesting clouds. The color palette is monochromatic, in line with the etching technique.
