Bridge over the channel. Argamach

A winter riverside scene centers on a solitary bare tree standing on a snowy point of land, its branches spreading against a pale sky. To the right a narrow wooden footbridge with a handrail crosses the dark, still-open water of the channel, while drifted snow and scattered shrubs line both banks.

Pastel is worked in soft, chalky strokes, with pale cream and blue-violet tones for the snow and long cast shadows set against the near-black water and warm ochre undertones in the foreground ground. Loose, textured marks blur the outlines, giving the frosty air a calm, serene stillness.
