Was ( or is ) this a real bridge?
I bought this print of an oil painting at a garage sale. It shows a stone arch bridge with an apartment building over the pier and women washing clothes in the river.
An engineer (?) standing under the arch on the river bank appears to be looking at the underside of the bridge. He is wearing a 3 corner hat .
The bridge appears to be Roman and maybe in southern Spain or Italy.
There are no artist initials or signatures, and the back is blank. A Web search found similiar style paintings by Dutch parinters in the 1800's but nothing close.
Just wondering ..was this a real bridge?
