This image presents an etching or engraving depicting an urban riverscape scene with a large stone bridge crossing over a river. The bridge has multiple arches and buildings with chimneys are integrated into its structure, displaying architecture indicative of a time prior to the 20th century. Atop the bridge, we can see figures walking and a gated entryway. Billowing black smoke fills the sky, originating from the chimneys of the buildings on the bridge, which suggests industrial activity or domestic fireplaces within. On the river, there are a couple of boats, one of which is rowing through one of the arches of the bridge. On the bank in the foreground, there are two figures next to a wheel-like object, possibly engaging in some form of work or conversation. On the left side of the etching, below the scene, are the words "Lauri.Clau. inv." which could suggest the name of the artist or engraver who created the image. On the right side, below the scene, it reads "Petrus. Gall. sculpsit.", which might indicate the person who engraved or sculpted the work. Just below the midpoint of the image, the inscription "Ponts quatuor capitum." could refer to the name of the bridge or the scene depicted, possibly in a Latinized form. The letters "L." and "P.", denoting the left and right sides of the scene from the artist's standpoint, are visible at the bottom corners. The overall scene creates an impression of a bustling, smoky city life from an era when stone bridges were a central part of urban infrastructure.
