The image displays a section of the Porte des Allemands, a fortified stone bridge in Metz, France, spanning the Seille River. The central focus is a large, pointed arch constructed from light-colored, aged stone blocks. Above the arch, the bridge's upper structure is visible, featuring distinct crenellations. Below the arch, dark, rippling water flows with a discernible current. On the left side of the frame, a dense cluster of green foliage from a tree or large bush extends downwards, nearly touching the water. In the lower foreground, several light-colored fallen tree branches and logs are partially submerged in the dark water. No human or animal figures are present in the scene.
