Vue d'un pont sur l'Aar, Canton de Berne (View of a Bridge on the Aar, Berne)

Französische Grafik 1781–1788, 1785

The image shows a view from a high vantage point looking over a river. Distant mountains covered in haze are visible against a cloudy sky on the horizon. A bridge arches over the river, featuring travelers and animals crossing it. The landscape includes cliffs and turbulent water, rendered with precise brushstrokes. The color palette is muted with greens, browns, and blues under a pastel sky.
