The Steel Bridge

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a steel bridge spanning across a river, with cliffs and trees obscuring the horizon. The bridge has an arched framework and lattice structure, rendered in pencil strokes with shadows and outlines. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of grey, depicting the rocky shore, water, vegetation, and bridge. Rocks and foliage are seen near the water, while city architecture can be seen in the distance beyond the cliffs.
