About the piece

Created by Samuel Frederick Brocas in 1818, this watercolor captures the Ha'Penny Bridge in its early years. The scene is a lively snapshot of Regency-era Dublin, showing pedestrians in period dress and horse-drawn carriages along the quays of the River Liffey. Brocas's delicate technique highlights the refined ironwork of the bridge against the warm brick of the city's architecture.
