Etchings of Venice: Traghetto San Felice

Otto H. Bacher

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a canal scene with boats. In the foreground, a covered boat with people inside points to the right. Two wooden poles protrude from the bottom edge into the water on either side of the boat. Behind and to the right, a large ornate building with columns and archways lines the water. Multiple gondolas and boats with single standing figures are on the water throughout. The artist's signature is in blue at the bottom left corner of the paper. The artwork is set against a textured white background.
