Brücke mit Tafel (Bridge with Sign)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden fence across a pathway, with a horizon positioned about a third from the top of the image. The sky is visible above the horizon. Hatch and crosshatch techniques are used in the brushstrokes, creating a textured appearance. The color palette is monochrome, utilizing various shades of black to white. The scene includes earth with grass and vegetation in the foreground, with thin bare trees on either side. The pathway and landscape extend into the distance past the fence under an open sky.
