Exploring Gyor in his spare time, he came upon the subject of The Bridge . Schiele was delighted with the structure's unusual architecture, which he called "quite Asiatic, Chinese-like". The painting was begun in the early weeks of 1913 and finished by winter's end. Like other paintings done at this time, when Schiele was especially low on funds, The Bridge was executed on two pieced-together lengths of canvas.
