A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts an arched bridge in the upper half spanning a canal. Fine vertical lines create dense hatching above the roof and along the side walls. The bridge features two windows and a central niche. In the lower half, elongated vertical strokes represent a shimmering reflection in the water, terminating in a dark, jagged horizontal curve. The image is centered on cream paper with a visible plate mark.
