About the piece
Painted in 1783 by William Hodges, this work depicts the Marmalong Bridge near Madras. The scene is bathed in a warm, atmospheric glow typical of the era, highlighting figures along the riverbank in the foreground. Hodges, known for his travels with Captain Cook, brought a sophisticated European eye to topographical scenes of the Indian subcontinent.
