Etchings of Venice: Beautiful View

Otto H. Bacher

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a woman sitting on a balcony. The woman's body faces right; her head turned left. She has dark hair pulled back into a low bun; bangs. The woman wears a dark-colored dress with a high neckline and three-quarter length sleeves. Her left arm rests on the ornate balcony railing; her right forearm rests on her right thigh. The balcony railing fills the left third of the image; a canal scene with boats visible through it. The background to the right of the woman shows a wall with a window frame. The image is signed in the bottom left corner.
