Description, scan 2
A river runs toward the viewer between steep earth banks, with a brick bridge spanning it on a large central arch and a smaller arch on the left. A group of small figures stands along the bridge parapet, with trees and low buildings behind them under a hazy sky. Rocks and pebbles lie on the banks in the foreground.
