The image depicts a black and white drawing of a city scene with fireworks exploding in the sky. The scene is set on a river with a bridge spanning it, and people are gathered on the riverbanks and bridge. The bridge has multiple arches and appears to be made of stone. In the foreground, people are standing and walking around, some on horseback, others in carriages. Fireworks explode in the sky above the bridge, creating a burst of lines radiating outward. The drawing is framed by a border with a thin line around the edge. The artist's style is detailed, with many people and objects depicted in the scene. The title of the work is "Fireworks on the Arno" and the artist is Jacques Callot.
