This image features a small etching of an urban riverscape scene. The viewpoint is from the embankment of the river, showing buildings and a bridge on the opposite side. The horizon has a row of buildings with varying rooftops, and a bridge spans the river. The lines of the etching create texture for trees and water. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of brown. The water's surface shows horizontal lines for flow and reflection. Two large leafy trees frame the central structure and the bridge in the distance.
