‘The Old Bridge’
Signed A. J. Daubeny, 20th Century
 
 
A charming oil on board depicting a stone bridge spanning a quiet river, with sunlit houses rising along the water’s edge. The warm tones of the buildings contrast gently with the cool shadows beneath the bridge, while distant hills frame the scene beyond. Daubeny’s confident, impressionistic brushwork captures the timeless character of a riverside town, with both structure and atmosphere rendered in harmonious balance.
