Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image is a monochromatic etching of a stone bridge over a river. It is viewed from the opposite bank looking at the bridge, with the horizon aligning with the top edge of the bridge. The bridge has a railing and several individuals are visible. There are structures on the distant bank beneath and beyond the bridge with varied rooftops and subtle details. The artwork features intricate line work and shading using fine, delicate strokes to create depth and texture in the architectural elements. The color palette is a soft sepia tone, giving a vintage feel to the scene and highlighting the linear contrasts in the artwork.
