Brug over de Theems 1868

"Brug over de Theems" (Bridge over the Thames) is an etching by Sir Francis Seymour Haden, created in 1868. This work, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, captures a picturesque scene of a bridge spanning the River Thames, framed by a dusky sky. The detailed depiction of the water's surface with its reflections and the boats in the foreground showcases Haden's mastery of the etching technique, creating a sense of tranquility and depth. This print is a testament to Haden's prominent role in the revival of etching as an artistic medium in the 19th century.
