Not on view
A horizontally oriented lithograph on off-white paper captures a bridge spanning across water with sketchy, gray lines. The bridge deck and thick vertical pilings frame the central composition. Small figures, including one in a dark coat, dot the railing. Loose, horizontal scribbles convey moving water in the foreground. In the distant background, faint lines delineate boats and shoreline buildings, creating a sense of depth through light, atmospheric marks.
