"Bow Bridge, Old Lyme, Connecticut" is an oil painting by the American artist William Henry Howe (1846–1929), who is known for his pastoral and bucolic scenes, often featuring cattle. The painting depicts the Bow Bridge in the town of Old Lyme, a location that became a significant center for American Impressionism at the turn of the 20th century. Howe, who spent a significant part of his career in Europe, was influenced by the Barbizon School and later by Impressionist techniques, which is reflected in his treatment of light and color in this work.

The painting captures the serene atmosphere of Old Lyme, with the bridge serving as a focal point in the composition. Howe's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the reflections on the water's surface, contribute to the tranquil and idyllic quality of the scene. "Bow Bridge, Old Lyme, Connecticut" is characteristic of Howe's mature style, where he combines his academic training with the looser brushwork and vibrant palette associated with Impressionism.
