Fingle Bridge on the Teign
On the river Teign lies a proper bridge, depicted here in the mid-ground by Widgery. He places two figures - most likely hunters - on the bridge to help convey the active nature of the area. Rare for Widgery in this series of Dartmoor watercolours, Widgery also takes this opportunity to explore some of the wild forests and woodlands of the moor in the foreground, giving them an optimal colour and fullness to truly bring them to life.
