In this landscape, a rustic wooden bridge spans a gentle stream, evoking the tranquility of rural life in the early 20th century. The composition is rich with naturalistic detail: lush greenery frames the scene, dappled light filters through the leaves, and wildflowers dot the foreground, adding pops of colour.

The painting's palette is dominated by greens and earth tones, which are complemented by the soft greys and blues of the sky, suggesting either early morning light or an overcast day. Raphael's brushwork is loose yet controlled, capturing the textures of wood, water, and foliage with a deft touch.

Bridge Over a Stream is a window into a peaceful moment in nature, inviting contemplation and reflection. It is a fine example of Raphael's skill in portraying the Canadian landscape with a sense of harmony and beauty.
