The bridge arches over the water with expressive brushstrokes. The color palette is earthy with shades of brown, gray, green, and beige. On the left, there are rocky formations. In the distance, two small figures and a horse are near the bridge. The sky is depicted in soft washes of pale yellow and light gray.
