DescriptionAn arched stone bridge crosses a lake surrounded by rocks, trees, and grassy lawns. Flowers or plants grow in large ornamental urns on the bridge abutments. Five swans and a small boat are in the water. Several people are in the boat; one of them uses oars to propel the boat. An awning is over the central section, and a large American flag flies from the stern. A man and a woman stand on the shore in the foreground. A man with a fishing pole stands at the edge of the lake in the left background. Two buildings, both with steeples and therefore apparently churches, are visible in the distance.
