Writing in 1894, the specialist Cornelis Hofstede de Groot described this painting as one of Rombout's masterpieces. At that time, it belonged to the collection of Martin Schubart [de] in Dresden. In the year of Schubart's death, 1899, the collection was sold at an auction in Munich, where Georg Dehio bought the painting on behalf of the Strasbourg museum, for 2,900 Mark.[1]
The Little Bridge is signed but not dated. It depicts a little wooden bridge over a canal, in which some ducks are swimming. The largest house on the right has been identified as an inn.[2][1]
