19th Century Oil on Board – Round Format – Bridge & Military Tower
11.75” x 1.5”

A beautifully atmospheric 19th century oil on board painted in a distinctive round format, depicting a serene bridge scene with a military tower rising in the background. The composition feels intimate yet historically grounded, capturing architectural detail and landscape with a refined painterly hand. The circular format enhances its presence, giving it a collectible and unique feel. 

Signed “Carla” on the front, the work carries an artist’s mark that adds to its authenticity and intrigue. The reverse bears handwritten notation that is partially illegible but appears to read “March 1861,” suggesting a precise date of creation and further strengthening its historical significance.

The piece shows age-appropriate wear consistent with a work of this period, adding character and depth. It would display beautifully layered among antique frames, architectural elements, or curated European collections — ideal for collectors drawn to historical landscapes and signed 19th century works with narrative detail.
