A horizontal etching in black ink on light paper depicts a busy river scene. To the left, a massive wooden scaffold stands beneath a suspension bridge. Fine, dark lines define numerous barges, while sketchy outlines of people navigate rowboats through squiggly ripples in the water. In the bottom foreground, logs float near the shore. The bridge stretches toward a distant skyline, its form rendered with delicate, precise linework.
