This drawing is of a bridge over a river in Germany. A tall building sits to the right of the river, and two houses sit to the left. The river flows between two mountains and off into the distance, which also contains a row of trees. A cluster of trees sits on the bank between the right side of the bridge and the river in the foreground. Below the pencil drawing is handwritten, "Bridge over the Nahe, / near Bingen / on the Rhine." |
