Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

The image shows an architectural scene with a bridge and a tower. The perspective is from below the bridge, looking up at the structure. The horizon is not visible. The bridge cuts diagonally across the image above the scene, and the tower rises prominently in the center distance. The style is reminiscent of an etching, with precise lines creating detailed effects. The color palette is monochromatic with black and sepia tones. Boats can be seen in the water below.
