Views: The Tower of Malghera

Antonio Canaletto

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a tower on the edge of a body of water. A tall, thin tower with a flat top and a small balcony stands on the right side of the image. The tower appears to be made of stone and has a few windows. In front of the tower, there is a small building with a tiled roof. Several boats are on the water in front of the buildings. There are people standing or sitting on the boats. In the background, there are mountains and a cloudy sky. The image is signed "A. Canal" in the bottom-left corner, and "La Torre di Malghera" is written in the center bottom.
