A watercolor painting depicting an urban scene with a large bridge in the background. In the foreground, there are two vintage trucks parked on a street next to a building with a crane on top. The bridge's shadow casts a prominent diagonal line across the composition, contrasting with the bright blue sky. The cityscape in the distance under the bridge is rendered in muted colors, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
