The image shows a bridge on the left side of a river, with a sailing boat to the right. In the background, there is a thin strip of trees on the horizon, suggesting distant land. The landscape is sketched with fine lines in a monochromatic style, with primarily black and white colors defining the structures and natural elements. The sky lacks detail, creating a contrast with the elaborately etched lower area.
