Liber Studiorum: Ville de Thun, Switzerland

Joseph Mallord William Turner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a body of water in the foreground and a town on the opposite shore. The foreground shows two boats on the water, with people standing or sitting in them. The boat on the left has a man and two women and cargo. The boat on the right has a seated person and a standing person with a long pole. The shoreline in the foreground features trees on the left and grass at the bottom right. In the background, there are several buildings on the opposite shore, including a tall tower on the left and another on the right. The buildings appear to be a mix of residential and castle-like structures. The sky above is light and featureless. The image is drawn in black lines on a beige background. The word "Thun" is written at the bottom center of the image.
