An original oil painting entitled The Foot Bridge by British artist Priscilla Ritchie. The composition depicts a solitary female figure seated upon a wooden footbridge above a shaded woodland stream.
The work is painted with confident, broadly applied strokes in a restrained palette of deep green, teal and softly illuminated cream. The pale figure forms the quiet focal point of the composition, surrounded by dense foliage and reflected light upon the water.
Born in York, Ritchie studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London and subsequently settled in West Sussex. Her work explores colour, light and shade through confident brushwork, with the Sussex landscape providing a recurring source of inspiration. She has exhibited locally over many years, including a solo exhibition of landscapes at Oxmarket Contemporary in Chichester in 2023.
Presented in a gilt frame with a linen-covered inner slip. The verso retains a Gough Bros framers’ label bearing the artist’s name and former Eastergate, West Sussex address, together with the handwritten title The Foot Bridge.
