The bridge casts reflections on the water surface, and there is a small rowboat with two figures beneath the central arch. The left bank shows a taller waterfront building with vertical shading and a few small figures near the bridge edge, while the right bank displays a series of multi-story facades rendered in fine vertical lines. The sky is mostly clear with subtle horizontal etching marks and the overall image is detailed with crosshatching and linear textures throughout.
