A horizontally oriented crayon drawing depicts an arched bridge over water. Vigorous, dark diagonal strokes mask the sky, while the bridge on the left recedes toward thin outlines of buildings and a tower on the right. Quick horizontal marks across the foreground suggest flickering reflections on the rippling water. In the lower left corner, a signature is scrawled in dark crayon against the light paper.
