content: A charcoal and watercolor sketch on beige paper mounted on brown frame of a bridge at St. Mihiel. The bridge in the center of the sketch appears to have collapsed, but a portion of it is still standing on land with a stone arch near the base. Two soldiers, one wearing brown and one wearing blue (possibly American and French respectively) are seen on the left in front of the bridge. Two other soldiers are also seen on the right near a tall building that is partially damaged. A person is seen under the bridge as well as two people far in the distance beyond the bridge. A river flows on the left in which the bridge was supposed to cross and a reflection can be seen. A pole with wires are seen on the right. The sketch is mostly complete, but not very detailed. The sketch is painted completely. The bridge is colored black, light brown, and some empty spots for the paper to fill in. The sky is painted light blue. The building on the right is painted brown-red tint. The ground has a brown-red tint to it.
