A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on beige paper depicts a wooden bridge spanning a river, supported by massive, dark timber piers. Tiny figures crowd the top deck. Beneath a central span, a sailboat with a prominent white sail rests on water defined by sketchy ripples. A faint skyline sits along the distant background. In the lower right, a small, dark mark punctuates the paper.
