Description
A 20th-century watercolour on textured paper depicting a three-arched stone bridge crossing a river. The work is executed in a traditional landscape style using a soft, naturalistic colour palette. The composition features the bridge as the central focal point, with dense foliage in the foreground to the right and a line of trees in the background, all reflected in the water. The work bears the signature Richard Harris in the lower-left corner. The painting is presented in an off-white mount and housed in a dark wood frame featuring a gilt inner slip. No labels are visible on the verso.
Frame dimensions: 11.5 x 9 inches.
Condition report:
The watercolour paper displays some small scattered spots of foxing. The off-white mount shows more pronounced visible foxing and toning. The dark wood frame exhibits minor surface wear and scuffing consistent with age. The colours appear stable, though as with all watercolours, the medium remains light-sensitive.
