Ponte del Piovan

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a bridge over water with buildings on either side. The bridge has a curved top and straight sides with visible supports underneath. A small sign with illegible writing is on the right side. There are multiple buildings on both sides of the bridge. The buildings vary in size with several windows on the upper levels. There are darker shading areas on the buildings suggesting overhanging architectural features. The artwork appears to be created with an etching technique with a range of light and dark shading. The image is in muted tones. The title of the work is "Ponte del Piovan" by James McNeill Whistler.
