Cyclopean Bridge (Post Bridge, Dartmoor)

A watercolour rendering of a modern country bridge over the East Dart River in the Dartmoor area. Widgery chose to not only depict the well-travelled road, but to showcase its leisurely use by local and touring fishermen by placing a fisherman in the mid-ground of the piece.
