High Bridge
1934

Impressionist-style painting depicting a bustling industrial landscape with a large stone railway viaduct crossing over multiple railway tracks. Smoke rises from a train entering a tunnel on the left, while a solitary figure walks along the tracks. In the background, another bridge spans a river, with buildings and greenery scattered around the scene. The brushwork is thick and textured, adding a sense of movement and vitality to the urban setting.
