葛飾北斎画 冨嶽三十六景 深川万年橋下|Under the Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa (Fukagawa Mannenbashi shita), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) — Katsushika Hokusai

This simple frontal view of the Mannen Bridge admirably expresses the grand monumental character of the bridge. Indeed, as though it were the subject of a portrait, the bridge commands our attention with an impressive sense of dignity.
