George Henry was an Arbroath-based painter who exhibited still lifes, landscapes and other decorative subjects, mainly at the Royal Scottish Academy in the 1940s and 1950s. He also worked as a printmaker in linocut, exhibiting his work Sea Shell there in 1954. The present work is almost certainly his landscape titled The Bridge which was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1953 (no.413). It depicts the well-known stone bridge at Arbirlot, a village not far from Abroath itself.
