Old Bridge over a Mountain TorrentBy John Ruskin 1844 – 1849 Accession number: 1916P14 Watercolour over pencil on paper, laid on card. Width: 208 mm Height: 130 mm InformationThe style and alpine subject matter of this undated pencil and watercolour sketch suggests it may have been executed around the same time as the 'Alpine Scene' (1916P14), also in the Birmingham collection. In both Ruskin has used loose pencil shading under the watercolour to add shading and depth. By comparing these two works to others of similar subject it seems that they are likely to have been executed in the mid to late 1840s but the exact date is unknown.
