Description

A brick bridge with two arches spans a river where the water runs fast and churned around the piers. Three people stand along the metal railing on top of the bridge, silhouetted against a pale sky. Beyond the far bank are trees and low buildings, and a grassy bank rises in the middle of the scene.

Description, scan 2
A brick bridge with two arches spans fast-flowing, churning water. A metal railing runs along the top of the deck, and three people stand on the bridge as dark silhouettes against the bright sky. Trees and low houses are visible on the far bank to the left, and the foreground is bare, muddy ground at the water's edge.
