content: Landscape and architecture sketch showing an imagined view of a landscape with a bridge and ruined medieval tower. Grassy terrain stretches along the foreground along the lower margin and hosts a tree, at left. This tree frames a view of a double-arched bridge in the background at center that spans a river and leads to a ruinous, cylindrical tower at right, which is shaded by dark, billowing clouds in the background. Another tree, cut off at right, also frames the view.
