Piazza San Marco, Venice

Francesco Guardi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil drawing of a historic-looking city square with a tall tower in the center. The square is surrounded by buildings with many arches and columns. The buildings on the right and left sides have multiple stories, with rows of windows and arches. The building in the center has a large archway and several domes. The tower in the center is tall and narrow, with a pointed top. It appears to be made of stone or brick. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The entire scene is rendered in shades of brown and gray. The square is populated by people dressed in old-fashioned clothing.
