Canal and Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Venice

Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a canal scene. A small bridge with an arch spans the canal in the foreground. The bridge is made of stone and has a low wall on either side. On the left side of the image is a large building with a dome roof. The dome has a cross on top. The building has many windows and appears to be a church. To the right of the church is a row of buildings with chimneys and windows. A second row of buildings is in the background, on the right side. The sky is light gray and featureless. Three birds are flying in the sky. The water in the canal reflects the buildings.
