Bailey Bridge, Manchester

Adolphe Valette 1876 - 1942

Summary

Impressionistic, smog-ridden view of Bailey Bridge over the River Irwell, Manchester, looking along the river bank to the left towards the low bridge in the background, beyond which can be seen a landscape of factory buildings and chimneys. Single boat moored along the river bank to the left surrounded by dark shadowy figures. Light, dappled paintwork and creating a foggy haze across the picture surface.
