The Bridge of Sighs
For my very first drawing in Oxford, since I do not yet have favorite or beloved spots, I went for tourist attractions. This is Hertford Bridge, a connection between two buildings also known as the Bridge of Sighs, because it resembles the one in Venice (actually it didn’t look like it at all…). While I was there drawing, a constant flux of tourists was taking pictures from every side. At some point a girl was posing from its central window while her relatives down below were taking photos of her from below.
