Chirk Aqueduct (from the South side) Denbighshire

Eldridge employed quick, light lines to capture the shadows and texture of the scene, achieving a balance between simplicity and detail. The focus is on the aqueduct's form and its quiet surroundings, rendered in a straightforward yet evocative manner.

The watercolour was created as part of the 'Recording Britain' project, a wartime initiative that commissioned artists to document landscapes and structures at risk from war or modernization, aiming to preserve a record of Britain's national identity.
