Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1948

The image shows a shoreline with a large bridge spanning across the water from the bottom right to the left. The bridge has intricate details and bold outlines. The horizon is low in the composition, meeting the hills. A steamship emits smoke on the left. The sky has light, wispy clouds. The color palette is sepia-toned. Light and shadow play on the bridge and water.
