Covered bridges were one of Eric Sloane’s favorite subjects. Wherever he found them, largely in New England, he stopped to draw and paint them—these structures from bygone days are, without doubt, romantic and picturesque, offering the artist a variety of challenges in color, texture, and shape. Frame the bridge in the greenery of a late spring day and add a fly fisherman bending to net a trout and you have a small story, the story of a very old bridge as it experiences a single lovely moment in its seemingly timeless life.
