Bridge. Village Savvinskaya. 1885

"Bridge. Village Savvinskaya." is a pencil sketch by Isaac Levitan, a prominent Russian landscape painter of the late 19th century. The work features a simple composition depicting a wooden bridge in a rural setting, characterized by the artist's signature use of light and shadow. The focus on a solitary bridge, perhaps connecting two parts of a village or leading to a wider landscape, is indicative of Levitan's fascination with the melancholic beauty of nature and his tendency to imbue landscapes with a sense of solitude and contemplation. This sketch, likely done on location, showcases Levitan's mastery of capturing the essence of a scene with minimal strokes.
