At first glance, this drawing seems unremarkable in its choice of subject. A man crosses a bridge on a winter day, with humble structures and trees behind him. But the artist described the scene with such a broad range of colors, further elaborated with white chalk, that he imparted a sense of magic to the routines of daily life.
