label: Description
content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing a view of stone arched bridge over a brook in an unknown location. In the foreground at left, the road begins to ascend the bridge's arch and is flanked by wooden rails on either side. Viewed obliquely, the arch is sturdily made of stone and its shaded span grows darker the deeper it gets. The road extends out of view in the middle distance at center right. In the foreground at right, the trunk and bough of two separate trees are visible beside the bank of the brook.
