Burning of the Troy Bridge

Painting of a long covered bridge ablaze, its interior bright orange and flames erupting from its roof and windows. The bridge straddles a light-blue river, a densely populated town visible on the hill of the opposite bank. Small human figures scurry about the bridge opening carrying buckets. In the foreground, a horse harnessed to a carriage rears.
