The Bridge of Sighs (second plate)

Frank Duveneck

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of a bridge over water. A small boat sits beneath the bridge. The bridge has a railing and spans the width of the image on the left side. It is made of stone and has a slight arch. On the right side of the image, people are standing on steps leading up to a building. The building has a large doorway and several windows. A woman in a long dress stands on the right side of the steps, holding a fan. The background shows another bridge and a building with a tower. The sky is light-colored. The image is signed in the bottom-right corner. The overall atmosphere suggests a scene from Venice, Italy.
