Bridge Pylon
1936

A grayscale etching depicting a towering bridge structure from a low perspective, with the bridge's deck stretching into the distance and its large supports rising high above. The image has a dreamlike quality with soft, hazy details and birds flying around the upper parts of the bridge. There are signatures at the bottom left and right corners of the print.
