An etching on cream paper depicts a sprawling wooden bridge spanning a river. Fine black lines delineate the timber frame across the middle ground, while horizontal strokes convey reflections on the water below. To the right, a church tower and buildings cluster on the riverbank. The composition emphasizes the structure's rhythmic geometry against a vast, open sky. A small monogram sits in the bottom left, and a paper tab extends from the edge.
