This is a black-and-white photograph of a circular medallion seen against a light grey background. It shows a bridge, which has a flat top, approached by a steep slope on either side. The bridge is supported on the piers of seven arches. The three central arches are tall and of the same width and height. The ones either side of them at the top of the slopes are narrower and slightly lower. The arches to the far left and right at the bottom of the slopes are the narrowest and lowest. There is a parapet along both sides of the bridge. On the top of the bridge four tall pillars capped with statues stand on the parapet at the front and back. Another tall pillar with a statue at the base of the slopes can be seen on either side.

A river is shown flowing through the central three arches. A road can be seen going through the second arch on the left.
