Commentary

In this view from the porch of the Holley House, Cos Cob (see Glossary of Names) in winter, the strongly foreshortened diagonal of the bridge (that was also a dam), is continued by the opposing shoreline, which trails off into the snow-filled atmosphere. The red square building in the far right background is a store that stood next to the defunct Palmer & Duff shipyard (see Bridge in Winter, OP.1513).
