A vertical etching in black and gray ink depicts a stone bridge spanning a deep ravine. On the right, a tall, notched tower rises, its side heavily shaded with dark hatching. On the left, a smaller stone gateway stands. Two arches support the bridge, casting deep shadows over the jagged rocks below. Small figures cross the walkway. In the distance, rolling hills recede toward a pale horizon. Expressive dashes convey vegetation.
