"Architectural Fantasy with an Antique Bridge Over a River, and a Watermill in the Foreground" is an etching created in 1777 by the renowned Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728-1792). This artwork is an example of Adam's interest in classical architecture and his use of romantic, picturesque landscapes. The imposing bridge and the mill in the foreground, combined with the surrounding idyllic countryside, create a captivating and evocative scene. This etching is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
