Brownish-yellow colored drawing on aged paper, featuring a body of water in the foreground, and a city on the left side of the horizon with a stone bridge on the right side. The buildings along the waterfront are multi-story, and the bridge spans the width of the image. The sky above the scene consists of clouds and patches of blue. The artwork features dark brown and gray tones. The paper appears stained with darker spots in certain areas.
