Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. Emilio Donnini, a Florentine artist, established himself as a landscape painter from life and marked the transition from a purely romantic interpretation to Macchiaioli realism. He loved to portray especially seascapes rich in romanticism, painting the scenes from life, mostly on his beloved island of Elba. His works are rich in chromaticism with very delicate tones, from a diffuse luminosity that extends from the sky to the surfaces, often water, below with particular brilliance, while the figures that animate the scene are described with rapid brush strokes but at the same time with orderly precision. This landscape view portrays a watercourse in the countryside, crossed by the stump of an ancient bridge; washerwomen are busy with their work on the stony shore. The painting shows traces of restoration. It is presented in a golden frame from the mid-1900s.
