A brush and gray wash drawing depicts a ruined stone bridge in a horizontal composition. On the left, stone buildings and a tall tower are rendered in fine, precise lines. The bridge features large rounded arches and a central pier. To the right, a crumbling wall includes a weathered exterior staircase. Soft, layered washes create light and shadow across the masonry and the calm water in the foreground.
