Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown-toned drawing of a river scene with a bridge on the right and buildings lining the left riverbank. The bridge has multiple rounded arches and a railing along its length. It spans the width of the image. On the left riverbank, there are stairs leading up to the buildings. Three birds are flying in the sky. The buildings on the left side include a tall tower with a spire near the center. Further back, there are more buildings lining the riverbank, and a large building with a clock face. The sky is cloudy with some blue peeking through. The riverbank on the right side is not visible.
