Thomas Girtin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a cityscape. A large body of water is in the foreground, reflecting the buildings on its surface. A boat is on the water to the left, and another boat is on the water to the right. The buildings on the shore are multi-story and have various architectural features such as chimneys, windows, and doors. The buildings are densely packed and appear to be old. A large domed building with a tall tower stands out on the left side. People are standing on the shore. The sky above the buildings is light-colored. The drawing is on a rectangular piece of paper with a rough texture.
