Description
The Quai Poterie in Bruges — the pottery quay — rendered in the 1919 series as one of the primary sites in the collaborative Brangwyn-Urushibara documentation of the medieval city. This view of the quayside itself, rather than the bridge crossing it, presents the embankment in its full horizontal extent, the stepped gables of the buildings behind rising above the canal. Urushibara's composition likely emphasizes the reflective quality of the calm water and the particular quality of Flemish light.
