A horizontally oriented etching depicts a massive stone bridge with a decorative railing spanning a canal. Under its arch, three gondolas float. To the right, a man with a light skin tone wearing a hat stands in his boat. Arched buildings line the background. Fine brown lines and cross-hatching create deep shadows and textures against the cream-colored paper, which evokes a bright sky and shimmering water.
