A February Day at Bridgnorth

Causer employs loose, sketch‑like brushwork to convey the subtle movement of water and the soft, overcast sky. A palette of muted blue‑gray tones creates a cool atmosphere, and the handling of light emphasizes the calm surface of the river and the distant hills.

The painting is dated 1924 and signed in pencil by Causer. It has been recorded in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, where it is catalogued among the institution’s watercolour holdings.

Bridgnorth, a market town in Shropshire, was a frequent subject for early‑20th‑century British artists interested in rural and riverine scenes. The inclusion of a fishing seine reflects the town’s reliance on the River Severn for livelihood during the period.
