Cà Doro

Otto H. Bacher

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of a large, multi-story building with ornate details. The title "Cà Doro" by artist Otto H. Bacher. The building has a flat roof with a decorative railing and features numerous arches, columns, and windows on its facade. A balcony runs along the front of the building on the second and third floors. The structure appears to be situated on the water, with a boat positioned in front of it. In the foreground, a person wearing a hat is shown in a boat, rowing. The background of the sketch is a light beige color, with darker shading used to create depth and dimension. The artist's signature "OHB" is visible in the bottom-right corner, and another signature appears in the bottom-left corner. The overall style of the sketch suggests it was created using a drypoint or etching technique. The image has a rectangular shape with a white border around it. The scene depicted is likely set in Venice, Italy, given the architectural style and the presence of a canal.
