The Abingdon Artists now display a new picture in Abingdon Library every month. This month’s featured artwork is a watercolour painting by Jackie Wagner, depicting the Bridge of Sighs in Oxford.

The painting shows Hertford Bridge, often referred to as the Bridge of Sighs, which connects two parts of Hertford College across New College Lane in Oxford. Set on a rainy day, the artwork has figures reflected in the wet street. One figure leans to take a picture of a couple beneath the bridge.

The initiative began with Jonathan Leach’s painting of a path through trees. The rotating display allows local artists to show their work while adding something creative to the library.
