About this work

This painting shows a bridge with a few people walking across it. The bridge is depicted in dark lines against a lighter background. There are some buildings and trees on either side of the bridge. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes bold lines and simple shapes. The artist has used a drypoint technique to create the image, which gives it a rough, textured quality.
