A rounded stone bridge spans a quiet river. Its arch and the willow branches above are reflected in the water below. Long, drooping willows hang over both banks in soft sage and silvery green.

Behind the bridge, hazy mountains catch a warm, honey-colored glow, and the sky above them is pale gold. The cool teal water contrasts with the warm light in the background. Fine cracks in the paint surface add to the antique, storybook look of the scene.
