Drawbridge - Long Branch R. R. 1894

Theodore Robinson’s *Drawbridge - Long Branch R.R.* is a painting that captures a moment of tranquility on a serene waterway. The painting depicts a wooden drawbridge and a small sailboat in the foreground, both of which are positioned against a backdrop of a vast, tranquil, and slightly rippling body of water. The scene is bathed in a soft light, creating an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Robinson's interest in capturing light and its effects on the landscape is evident in the painting, with the subtle use of color and light to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The painting was completed in 1894, a year before Robinson's untimely death, and is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
