A beautiful sunlit depiction of the Devil's Bridge in Kirby Lonsdale, England. Like many bridges of the same name, it features a legend that the Devil appeared to an old woman, promising to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross over it. When the bridge was finished, the woman threw bread over the bridge and her dog chased after it, thereby outwitting the Devil. The artist has signed to the lower left and inscribed and dated at the reverse. On watercolor paper.
