The artwork depicts the view from below an expansive bridge, looking up at its structure as it stretches from the lower right side of the image towards the upper left. The horizon is visible behind industrial buildings just beyond the bridge, with a river or sea containing small boats and a faint cityscape. Bold and expressive brushstrokes create a textured surface, with a color palette dominated by deep blues and purples accented by a luminous yellow. Architectural elements such as brick and stone buildings with smokestacks and a street lamp are present. The bridge arches over the scene, casting intricate shadows with its lattice structure. In the distance, the horizon meets the sky, where a warm glow is emitted by the celestial body.

A clear glass vase filled with colorful flowers is placed on a blue plate on a dark surface. The flowers have soft, pastel hues, including shades of pink, orange, and purple, with green stems and leaves. To the right of the vase is a draped fabric in a light brown or pinkish tone, while behind the flowers on the left is a wall displaying a framed picture with a small black square on a blue background, which contrasts against a light beige wall.
