Railway Bridge, Chelsea 1888 - 1889

Theodore Roussel's "Railway Bridge, Chelsea" is an etching depicting a serene scene of boats anchored on the River Thames near Chelsea, London. This delicate print, completed between 1888 and 1889, demonstrates Roussel's mastery of the etching technique, capturing the subtle light and textures of the water and the boats. The artist's signature appears in the bottom left corner of the print. This work is a testament to Roussel's ability to create beautiful and evocative representations of daily life in London, a recurring theme in his work. "Railway Bridge, Chelsea" is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
