This sketch shows a simple wooden bridge over calm water. Tall reeds grow around the edges, and a few trees stand in the background. The lines are loose, almost like quick pencil strokes. The artist signed it "Schleissheim, June," which might be where they saw this scene. The drawing looks fast and rough, like they were capturing light and movement. Want to see more?
