Artist, American, 1890 - 1969

The image is a detailed drawing of an industrial bridge structure. The perspective emphasizes the scale of the bridge, with metal beams and trusses extending across the composition. Buildings are seen below the structure, and small figures are visible near the base. The drawing is done with fine, dense brushstrokes and a monochromatic color palette of grays. Closest to us, scattered planks of wood lie beside a dirt path enclosed by a simple wooden barrier.
