The image shows a large steel bridge over water, with an urban skyline faintly visible in the background. A ship is passing under the bridge, emphasizing its size. Stone towers anchor each end of the bridge to the land. The artwork uses a black and white palette and detailed rendering to depict the bridge, ship, and water.
