Views: A Wagon Passing over a Bridge

Antonio Canaletto

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image. A wagon pulled by two oxen crosses a low stone bridge. The bridge spans a body of water with people in it. The wagon and oxen are in the center of the image. The bridge curves slightly as it crosses the water. A large building with an archway is on the left side. The building has a steeply pitched roof and a chimney. The sky above is light with some clouds. The image is framed by a thin border. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner. The scene depicts everyday life in a rural setting. The image is detailed with many lines.
