This is a black and white etching depicting a river scene, which appears to be a historical view of a city with gothic architecture. In the foreground, there are people and horses engaged in activities by the riverside. Some individuals are standing or walking, while a team of horses pulls a cart. There are also several small boats resting on the bank or floating near the water's edge.

In the mid-ground, a stone bridge spans the river, connecting the two sides of the city. The bridge has multiple arches, and buildings are visible on the far side.

The background is dominated by a large cathedral or church with two prominent towers rising above the surrounding structures, which implies that this scene may be set in Europe, possibly depicting a well-known city such as Paris. The cathedral's architecture includes flying buttresses, indicating it's in the Gothic style.

The sky is filled with clouds, rendering a sense of depth and atmosphere. Given the clothing style of the figures and the design of the buildings and boats, this etching likely represents a scene from the 18th or 19th century. The etching has fine details, suggesting it's the work of a skilled artist, and there is a signature or inscription at the bottom right corner.
