The Wooden Bridge, Sottocastello c. 1929

"The Wooden Bridge, Sottocastello" is a pen and ink drawing by Robert Austin from 1929. The artwork depicts a simple, rustic wooden bridge over a stream, with a single figure standing on the bridge looking over the water. This drawing is a fine example of Austin's use of line to create a sense of depth and texture in his landscapes, particularly in the representation of the water, which is rendered in a series of small, parallel lines. The drawing is a relatively small work, measuring only 15.2 x 12.5 cm, but it packs a lot of detail into its limited space.
