Manhattan Bridge

Stanford White

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an elevated viewpoint overlooking a cityscape with a bridge in the distance. The horizon is low, with the bridge acting as a horizontal element. The pencil strokes are delicate and sketch-like, creating an ethereal quality. The color palette is monochromatic with soft gray tones. A tall structure is visible on the right, and the drawing includes rooftops and city structures blending into the hazy background.
