Wendy Baron comments, 'Sickert possibly visited Bath in 1916. He returned for much longer visits in 1917 and 1918 when he rented a house to live in with his wife, at The Lodge, Entry Hill (on the far side of the River Avon), as well as several studios. Pulteney Bridge, designed to span the Avon, was opened in 1771. Sickert returned to this subject again and again, relishing its mixture of sky, water, vegetation and buildings. In each version he varied the points of cutting the scene'.
The largest and most fully realised version of this subject, (28 x 45 in.) painted circa 1917-18, also known as Pulteney Bridge, Bath (Baron 492) is in the collection of Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Paul Mellon Collection. (See W. Baron, 2006, loc. cit.).
